There was one tester that drop by the test list and mentioned that the touchscreen on his Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t did not work which raised the question what's the current status on out of the box touchscreen/tablet support ( single/multi ) in the Kernel/Xorg/Gnome in Fedora?
Given that there are more and more touchscreen/tablets coming of the product line and they are getting increased popularity with end user perhaps it should be considered a F14 feature trying to get the best out of the box touchscreen/tablets experience for the end user?
Perhaps the project could try to sponsor those that are willing to work on it by providing them with tablets?
I think that particular issue is a development one - it's a missing or broken driver. Not a matter of implementation at the desktop level. I agree that the general case warrants consideration, though; assuming the kernel / X layers provide proper support for a touchscreen device, our desktop touchscreen experience should be good.
