Hi Calum, 

In the past, when people have asked to reference the GDSG, I have requested them to give the title and URL of the GDSG, and name the GDP as the publisher. The only place of publication that makes any sense is the URL, cyberspace in other words.

I am writing to ask if I could refer to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (1.0) for one of my assessments. The assessment concerned is about researching into Usability Principles and I found this article very useful and relevant.
