It’ll be really hard for me to keep track which feature was done by which, so I’ll post GNOME 2.24 and Ubuntu 8.10 as one. How is it hard? Well, I used to think that most of the things in Ubuntu were done by GNOME, but I was proven wrong when I looked deeply into the progress of Ubuntu 8.10 from alpha to final. I learned the new quit menus were taken from OpenSUSE (not to be confused with the quit menu being split up into three parts in System part of the Menu Bar; that was by GNOME), that most of the work on the new FUSA applet was done by Ubuntu, and there’s some things that Ubuntu takes out of GNOME that I noticed in Foresight’s unedited version of GNOME that I couldn’t see in Ubuntu’s GNOME.
