+ <para>
+The GNOME &version; Desktop is the latest release of the ever popular, multi-platform free desktop environment.</para>
+
+ <para>The GNOME desktop releases continue to arrive on schedule. GNOME &version; includes a number of interesting new features and hundreds of bug fixes. This time GNOME also includes a video player and a CD-ripping utility. You can learn more in the following sections.</para>
+
+ <para>GNOME provides a user-friendly environment that "just works"
+ for everyday users, without excess complexity or obscure features. At the same
+ time we provide the rich flexibility experienced developers
+ demand.</para>
+
+ <para>GNOME runs on a variety of platforms, including GNU/Linux
+ (commonly called Linux), Solaris, HP-UX, BSD and Apple's
+ Darwin. GNOME includes powerful features such as world-class
+ smooth text rendering, a first-class accessibility infrastructure,
+ and a complete internationalization infrastructure that includes
+ support for bi-directional text.</para>
+
+ <para>Of course GNOME &version; includes all of the improvements made in
+ GNOME &oldversion;, which you can learn about in the GNOME &oldversion; <ulink
+ url="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/";>release notes</ulink>.</para>
+
+ <para>The Desktop release contains all the applications needed
+ to provide basic user functionality. Major applications
+ such as <application>Gnumeric</application> and
+ <application>OpenOffice.org</application> are also available, but are
+ developed in parallel on their own release cycle rather than
+ being included in the core GNOME release.</para>
+
+ <para>GNOME is part of the GNU Project, and is <ulink

+ <para>We also encourage our users to report bugs so that they can be
+ fixed. The best way to report bugs found in GNOME is to use the <ulink

+ Guide</ulink>. This will take you through the necessary steps to file a
+ quality bug report, and make sure that it is tagged appropriately. If you're

+ <title>Panel Items</title>
+
+ <para>
+ GNOME &version; includes major improvements to its panel items (also known as applets), providing new features and better integration with the rest of the desktop.
+ </para>
+ <para>The most visible change is the removal of the Actions panel menu and the addition of Places and Desktop menus. These provide fast access to the items you use most often, without navigating through sub-menus. For instance, the Places menu lists your home folder, your computer, networked servers, and the search feature. In the Desktop menu, you'll find your Preferences and Administration control panels, Log Out, and Help.</para>
+
+ <para>All of the panel menus are now defined by the cross-platform Freedesktop.org menu specification, so 3rd-party software may add itself to the Applications menu without even knowing about GNOME.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also, most applets can now be partly transparent, when the panel itself is transparent.
+ </para>

+ Now the volume mounter applet helps you to use these volumes without the difficulty of finding their icons on the desktop, behind
+ your open windows. The applet shows the currently mounted (or unmountable) volumes, allowing
+ you to mount them, eject them, or open them in the file manager.

+ A new mixer for your panel (combined with a new-look mixer on the desktop)
+ gets the most from your sound hardware. Using the GStreamer
+ multimedia framework, the mixer is now simpler and more convenient than before.
+ The same multimedia framework powers Totem, Sound Juicer, the GNOME CD player
+ and a variety of third-party applications, so changing the GNOME volume
+ via the panel will change the volume of all these applications.

+ </para>
+ <para>And sticky notes now stay on top other windows, so you can't lose them. To hide the notes,

+ <sect3 id="rnapplet-removed">
+ <title>Removed Applets</title>
+ <para>
+ Three applets were removed in GNOME &version;, replaced by better alternatives in most cases.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The CD Player panel applet has been removed, so you will not see a CD player on your panel when you don't even have a CD in your drive. Instead, inserting a CD will now start the GNOME CD Player, which can then be controlled from a notification icon that it places in your Panel.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The dedicated Wireless applet has been removed because the Network Monitor applet, introduced in GNOME 2.8, also includes wireless support.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The Mailbox Monitor has been removed because it was unmaintained and
+ insecure. We hope to have a solution integrated with our Evolution mail client in the
+ future. If you don't use Evolution for your mail, you can use a third party
+ application such as <ulink

+ <title>Themes</title>
+
+ <para>The new Theme preferences dialog is simpler and more powerful. Previously there were several independent theme systems for various parts of the user environment. You can now control all of this in one place without needing to be aware of these details. Themes can now change the appearance of window borders, controls, and the icons used on your desktop and panel.</para>
+
+ <para>For the technically orientated, this means that the theme manager dialog brings together window manager themes, GTK+ themes, and icon themes.</para>
+
+ <para>GNOME &version; offers several built-in themes. See <ulink url="http://art.gnome.org";>art.gnome.org</ulink> for more. Or you can edit a theme and save the new theme, all from within the theme manager.</para>

+ <title>So, why GNOME?</title>
+
+
+ <para>
+ Having seen some of the new features in GNOME &version;, why choose GNOME
+ over other desktop environments? Every GNOME volunteer has their own
+ motivations, of course, but here are some of the common reasons many
+ of us choose to work on and use GNOME.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-usability">
+ <title>Usability</title>
+ <para>
+ GNOME is the only open source desktop project to take a stand
+ for ease of use and UI consistency over feature creep and
+ hyper-configurability. Our <ulink
+ url="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/";> Human
+ Interface Guidelines</ulink>, developed by a team of GNOME
+ volunteers and UI professionals, and released before GNOME 2.0,
+ are the most complete Free Software usability guidelines in
+ existence. Every application in the GNOME Desktop release has
+ benefited from this focus on consistency and usability. We believe
+ that this focus will produce a user environment that "just works"
+ and as a result lets GNOME users -both experienced and
+ inexperienced- focus on doing real work instead of struggling to
+ learn new applications.

+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-accessibility">
+ <title>Accessibility</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Beyond making GNOME easier to use for the average computer user,
+ GNOME has also taken the lead in making the Unix desktop
+ accessible to those with disabilities. The GNOME accessibility framework
+ is used by our award-winning accessibility tools like the GNOME
+ Onscreen Keyboard (gok), Gnopernicus, and Dasher. These allow
+ the use of braille readers, voice synthesizers, and pointing
+ devices. Many governments, including the US government,
+ require comprehensive accessibility support in software they
+ purchase. After dozens of person-years of effort, GNOME is
+ the only free software desktop to thoroughly address this issue.
+ </para>
+
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-interface">
+ <title>Interface Stability</title>
+ <para>
+ The core libraries in the GNOME Development Platform carry
+ guarantees of API and ABI stability. This means that 'porting'
+ an application from GNOME 2.0 to GNOME &version;
+ involves no work, if a developer does not wish to
+ take advantage of new functionality in the libraries.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-mature">
+ <title>Platform of Choice</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Popular and robust Free Software applications such as
+ Mozilla, Eclipse, Evolution, Gnumeric, Abiword, Gaim,
+ X-Chat, and more are based on GNOME or GTK+. These
+ applications are among the most powerful and capable in the
+ Free Software world, and we expect that they'll only get
+ better as they take more advantage of the GNOME development
+ environment. In addition, other important desktop projects,
+ like Mono, Java, and OpenOffice.org, are working on
+ integrating with GNOME and GTK+.
+ </para>
+
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-organization">
+ <title>Organization</title>
+ <para>
+ GNOME &version; is the third 'time-based' GNOME release. Because
+ GNOME releases on a regular schedule, contributors know that
+ their contributions will be in a stable release and on the
+ desktops of users everywhere within a short, predictable period
+ after they contribute. In addition, people who want to deploy
+ GNOME know that they can count on regular releases when they are
+ planning rollouts or integration with their own products.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Additionally, the GNOME Foundation allows companies to support
+ GNOME, while at the same time ensuring the independence of the
+ board by ensuring that they are selected by the developers who
+ work on GNOME. This infrastructure helps organize releases,
+ and sponsors the annual GUADEC conference and the regular North
+ American summits.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-licensing">
+ <title>Licensing</title>
+
+ <para>
+ All GNOME platform libraries are licensed under the <ulink
+ url="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lgpl.html";>LGPL</ulink> or similar
+ license, so developing for the GNOME platform is 100% free of license
+ fees, for developers of both Free and proprietary software.
+ </para>
+
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2 id="rnwhy-support">
+ <title>Support and Staying Power</title>
+
+ <para>
+ GNOME is here to stay. Besides the active GNOME community
+ (which has now supported and developed GNOME for over five
+ years), many of the biggest supporters of the Unix desktop
+ are GNOME contributors, including HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell
+ (through Ximian), Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems.
