-GNOME Human Interface Guidelines </h1>
-
-<p></p>
-<center><a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/";>Jump straight to HIG v2.0 online</a></center>
-<p></p>
-
-<h2>From the Introduction</h2>
-
-<p>This document tells you how to create applications that look right, behave
-properly, and fit into the GNOME user interface as a whole. It is written
-for interface designers, graphic artists and software developers who will
-be creating software for the GNOME environment. Both specific advice on making
-effective use of interface elements, and the philosophy and general design
-principles behind the GNOME interface are covered.</p>
-
-<p>These guidelines will help you write applications that are easy
-to use and consistent with the GNOME desktop. Following these guidelines
-will have many benefits:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Users will learn to use your program faster, because interface elements
-will look and behave the way they are used to.</li>
- <li>Novice and advanced users alike will be able accomplish tasks quickly
-and easily, because the interface won't be confusing or make things difficult.</li>
- <li>Your application will have an attractive look that fits in with the
-rest of the desktop.</li>
- <li>Your application will continue to look good when users change desktop
-themes, fonts and colors.</li>
- <li>Your application will be accessible to all users, including those
-with disabilities or special needs.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>To help you achieve these goals, these guidelines will cover basic interface
-elements, how to use them and put them together effectively, and how to make
-your application integrate well with the desktop.</p>
-
-<p>The recommendations here build on design aspects that have worked well
-in other systems, including Mac OS, Windows, Java and KDE. At the same time
-they retain a uniquely GNOME flavor.</p>
-
-<h2>Getting the Current HIG (v2.0)</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li><a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/";>Browse the HIG v2.0 online</a></li>
- <li><a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/hig-book-html-2.20.0.tar.gz";>Download the online HIG v2.0 in a single tar.gz archive (1.3M)</a> </li>
- <li><a href="2.0/hig-2.0.pdf">Download the HIG v2.0 in PDF format (1.8M, 168 pages)</a> </li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>What's new in 2.0?</h3>
-<p>A <a href="2.0/whatsnew.html">summary of the important changes is available here</a>. You can also <a href="2.0/diff-from-1.0/index.html">browse a complete marked-up copy</a> of HIG 2.0 with the changes from v1.0 highlighted.</p>
-
-<h2>Working Draft</h2>
-
-<p>You can also browse a working draft of the HIG
-online. This will become the next HIG release after undergoing review. While
-it contains material not found in the current stable release, it may also
-contain errors or guidelines that will be modified in the review process.</p>
-
-<p>Two versions are available:</p>
-<ul>
- <li><a href="draft_hig_new">Auto-generated draft</a> is generated whenever new changes are checked in.</li>
- <li><a href="http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/web-devel-2/content/projects/gup/hig/";>Source in cvs</a> shows the DocBook sources and changes.</li>
- <li><a href="hig-diff">Marked-up draft with revisions highlighted (last updated 16-Jun-2006)</a>. Highlights additions (yellow), deletions (red) and changes (green) since the last release, to make it easier to review. However it's usually a few days out of sync with the auto-generated draft.</li>
-</ul>
-<!--
-<p>Note: the draft version of the HIG currently tracks page hits via a free account at <a href="http://statcounter.com";>StatCounter.com</a> (please contact the GUP if you know of a more OSS-friendly alternative!). This <a href="http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=1294722&guest=1";>information</a> will help the HIG team to prioritize areas of future development. No personal information is sent to StatCounter, but if you still do not wish your HIG usage to be tracked, please use the latest stable release.</p>

GNOME Usability
</h1>
-<p align="center"><i>"What's important is not that we can conceive the idea,
-but that when we actually test it on people you discover it doesn't work...
-your intuition is wrong."</i> - Daniel M. Russell (IBM Almaden / Xerox PARC)
-</p>
- <p><b>Usable</b> <i>Us"a*ble</i>, a.<br></br>
-    Capable of being used.</p>
-
-
- For such a simplistic definition, this encapsulates the fundamental goal of
- usability very well. Usable software is software that people can use; whether to write
- Email, play games or develop the next killer application. GNOME is many
- different things, but certainly one of its significant aspects is to provide
- an environment for users - for people. What a disappointment it should be when
- a user's ability to access one of the features we have coded is impaired or
- altogether halted because they don't understand how to manipulate the
- interface...[<a href="articles/why_care/">Read More</a>]
-
-<h2>About the Usability Project</h2>
-
- The Usability Project strives to make the GNOME experience as pleasant and
- efficient as possible. The project aims both to aid developers in their
- efforts to create intuitive applications, and to lead by creating designs
- and detailed mockups toward a cohesive and beautiful new generation of the
- GNOME desktop. The Usability Project achieves these goals through the
- <a href="hig/">creation of an interface guide</a> defining and evolving the GNOME user interface,
- working with maintainers to find existing interaction problems through <a href="usertesting.html">user
- testing</a>, and the visual/interactive engineering of new desktop components.
-
-<p> If you are interested in involving yourself with the project, please see the
- <a href="contact.html">contact page</a> for information on collaborating with
- other Usability Project participants by joining our mailing list, or by IRC.
