How about a "Gnome Success Stories" available from the "About Gnome" 
webpage ? just as what's gtk+ doing.
(see: http://gtk.org/success/).

Now I got questions, I think it's quite something but I still can give 
answers to that when I hear people/companies:
- What kind of support for Gnome they can have (who should they ask, 
pay... ?)
- How can they learn using Gnome (a "Gnome for dummies" book ?) ?
- How did the success story became a success : what kind of people to 
hire ? how they convinced the local authorities ? where did they get the 
money for ?

To me, I got no real answers to that. How can we make this becoming 
clear as crystal for folks ? (a nice web page talking about it ?)

Bye,
Sébastien.
