A snippet from Linux Mint Blog
Sounds nice
I wonder how it's gonna look. Hope not too cluttered. If Linux becomes bloated we're doomed

Linux Mint 12 'Lisa' will come with its own customized desktop and it will be based on Gnome 3. The core desktop will be based on a series of Gnome Shell extensions called “MGSE” (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions) that will provide a layer on top of Gnome 3
Sounds nice
The main features of MGSE are:
•The bottom panel
•The application menu
•The window list
•A task-centric desktop (i.e. you switch between windows, not applications)
•Visible system tray icons
MGSE also includes additional extensions such as a media player indicator, and multiple enhancements to Gnome 3. Thus Linux Mint 12 will be more like a hybrid desktop balancing traditional desktop and new modern technologies.

Negotiations with browsers and search engines are still ongoing so the RC might miss a few search engines that could be added later on in the stable release. At the latest we should have the RC out by the 11th of November. Again, that’s our goal in terms of time-frame, but if quality aspects come into play this date becomes irrelevant.
