Hi all,

I have installed Yakkety, so I can test Unity 8. For those of you who 
are interested, here is what I have found out so far:

In U8 you have: the terminal, system settings, scopes (as a substitude 
for the Dash) and a web browser. The latter does not work on my PC 
(problems with Nouveau), but I managed to get around this problem by 
installing Firefox. You can install applications that use X.org by first 
installing Libertine. For convenience sake, I installed Nautilus, 
leafpad and Firefox.

If you want to help testing U8, please use this list to let us know what 
your findings are.

Apart from writing documentation on U8, I think we should also write 
something about Snap(py).
