This is the user's  documentation for GNOME. At this point this documentation covers the core GNOME functionality. Very soon applications will be added. Applications that are a part of the GNOME release will be included in this documentation.


The maintainer for the cvs 'desktop-docs' is David Mason(dcm@redhat.com). If you would like to contribute to this documentation please feel free to do so. Keep in mind, however, that it is very important for documentation to keep a good flow in language and content... so read whats there first!! Try hard to keep the audience in mind from the lowest skill level to the highest. Most importantly, coordinate with others!! 

********Very IMPORTANT*********** 

This documentation in in SGML utilizing the DocBook DTD!!! To learn more about DocBook and the tools to generate docs please review Mark Galassi's great tutorial: http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro.html

For the GNOME website the jade script db2html was used to generate the html files. One feature that was enabled was the white background. You can find this option commented out in the cygnus-both.dsl. This was done to keep consistency with the GNOME web site.
