Benefit to Fedora
Fedora stays in sync with upstream.
Scope

- Keep existing GNOME packages updated

Upgrade/compatibility impact
Upgrading from GNOME 3.14 to a newer release should not have a major impact.
How To Test
Generic 'desktop testing' is always appropriate for a major new desktop version.

- New notification UI, tracked separately here: Changes/GnomeShell_NewNotification
- Nautilus UI improvements, tracked separately here: Changes/Nautilus_Improvements

Contingency Plan
GNOME 3.16 will be released in March 2015 and fits well into Fedora 22 schedule. In case of issues with individual modules that aren't either released in time or aren't deemed suitable for Fedora 22, we'll continue using the GNOME 3.14 versions of these modules.
- Contingency mechanism: The Workstation WG evaluates the GNOME 3.16 prerelease before beta freeze and reverts individual changes as needed.
- Contingency deadline: beta freeze
- Blocks release? No
Documentation
- GNOME 3.16 planned features
- GNOME 3.16 schedule
