The release notes are being prepared for GNOME 2.16, and we need screenshots to show the latest and greatest things in GNOME 2.16. If you have a screenshot you think might be interesting, submit it under the GNOME 2.15 category, and we will be chosing the best ones for the release notes. Already submitted screenshots can be viewed here.

Small suggestion

I would like to make a small suggestion, as someone who (sadly) isn't running 2.15 and what I think should be seen in these screenshots.
I don't think the screenshots should have Compiz in them, since this isn't part of gnome and not representative.
Nor do I think unstandard items on the desktop, like the sled or ubuntu launchers in the panel.
Also, I don't think completly off the wall themes or stuff like that are good as well.
I think the *official* screnshots should show off GNOME and not the very other cool things happening in the linx desktop world.

Last, I think it would be nicer if the desktop looked like a regular persons desktop in the middle of some regular usage. You want to show off the new dictionary featues in gnome-utils, then show it as if you are in the middle of working on a paper or reading a pdf and showing it as USEFULL and not eyecandy.

Anyway, just mho since I can't take screenshots of my own.

I must admit I agree. They should be based on the default install before any distro/user tampering. Some of the screenshots look great but some are just plain ugly.
