Description:
The GNOME project provides two things: GNOME desktop
environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users,
users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework
for building applications that integrate into the rest of the
desktop.
Here are some key features of
"GNOME":
Free
· GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project,
dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of
control over their desktops, their software, and their data. Find
out more about the GNU project and Free Software at gnu.org.
Usable
· GNOME understands that usability is about creating
software that is easy for everyone to use, not about piling on
features. GNOME's community of professional and volunteer
usability experts have created Free Software's first and only
Human Interface Guidelines, and all core GNOME software is adopting
these principles. Find out more about GNOME and usability at the
GNOME Usability Project.
Accessible
· Free Software is about enabling software freedom for
everyone, including users and developers with disabilities.
GNOME's Accessibility framework is the result of several years of
effort, and makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix
platform. Find out more at the GNOME Accessibility Project.
International
· GNOME is used, developed and documented in dozens of
languages, and we strive to ensure that every piece of GNOME
software can be translated into all languages. Find out more at the
GNOME Translation Project.
Developer-friendly
· Developers are not tied to a single language with
GNOME. You can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, even C, to produce
high-quality applications that integrate smoothly into the rest of
your Unix or Linux desktop.
Organized
· GNOME strives to be an organized community, with a
foundation of several hundred members, usability, accessibility,
and QA teams, and an elected board. GNOME releases are defined by
the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six
months.
Supported
· Beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, GNOME is
supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP,
MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Find out more at
foundation.gnome.org.
A community
· Perhaps more than anything else, GNOME is a worldwide
community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and
generally have fun together. Find out more at GNOME Developer's
site.
