Thousands of tiny gnomes, working through the night, day in, day
out for weeks have finally finished their labor (well, actually it
was Todd and I, with help from a few other people; thanks all! :-).
We are proud to announce the updated GNOME FAQ.
Key changes since the last release:
- Now in DocBook format
- Now maintained in CVS
(gnome-libs/devel-docs/gnome-faq.sgml) - More questions!
- More answers
- Updated answers
- Fewer coffee stains
The version is available on the GNOME website at http://www.gnome.org/gnomefaq
Bookmark it, read it, it should be useful.
The FAQ isn’t perfect, please send comments, questions,
complaints and suggestions to gnomefaq@gnu.org, and it will get
forwarded to the proper authorities (well, me).
Here are some known problems with the FAQ:
- It’s ugly (I’ll be fiddling with a custom DSSSL frontend to
Norman Walsh’s stylesheets to try to get something better-looking
soon) - The table of contents has no real page numbers in PostScript
(Can anyone who knows DocBook better than me tell me what I’m doing
wrong?) - It needs more questions & answers (We add them as we think
of them, and we are certainly open to suggestions)
For those of you with CVS access (other than Todd, Miguel and
I), please try to refrain from making changes directly to the CVS
version unless there is some critical problem that can’t wait to be
fixed. It’s alot easier to keep track of what’s going into the FAQ
if the changes are sent through the gnomefaq@gnu.org address. By
all means, send patches through there if you want to.
