This is the User documentation for GNOME. 

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. A set of custom stylesheets was used but you should have no trouble
generating the docs with the default set. At some point I will put the
stylesheets up so that everyone who wants to use them can.

If you would like to translate the docs please contact docs@gnome.org to see
if anyone is already doing so.
