People who are porting stuff to 2.0 might also want to cast their eye
over the "How to Make your Apps Accessible" doc, which is in a draft
form here:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/guide/gad

Making your app accessible is obviously less important than getting it
to compile and run at this early stage of the porting process (although
Bill might disagree :o).  But accessibility is a core feature of the
GNOME 2.0 desktop, so it's probably worth familiarizing yourself with
the (hopefully minimal) work you'll have to do a little further down the
road to make sure your app plays nicely in this respect.

Cheeri,
