Hi John, 

The most recent version that I can find on the GNOME website of the GNOME 2.0 
User Guide is at the following location: 

http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/2.0/

This manual was posted on 11 July, and is dated May 2002, so we need to put up a 
more recent version. Nevertheless, there is a lot of material in this document 
that is relevant. 

In the meantime, perhaps Eugene O'Connor (user guide author) and Steve Fox 
(webmaster) might want to look at putting up a more recent html version? Eugene, 
maybe you want to send John a zip file of the latest version that you have?
