GNOME's configuration data storage feature provides a mechanism for storing data.
GConf is an exceptional configuration data storage mechanism that is set to ship with GNOME 2.0. It has the incredible capability of working seamlessly without GNOME, making it extremely versatile. It can also be used with plain GTK+, Xlib, KDE, or even text mode applications. Although there is no stable release of GConf yet, the library is feature complete.
The latest release of GNOME is the GNOME 2.12 Desktop, which is a multi-platform free desktop environment that is on time to the day. The release includes countless bug fixes and numerous interesting new features. Additionally, GNOME is an entirely free software and part of the GNU project, which is dedicated to offering users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, software, and data.
Moreover, GNOME understands that usability is not about piling features but creating software that is easy for everyone to use. Its community of professional and volunteer usability experts created Free Software's very first and only Human Interface Guidelines, which all core GNOME software is adopting. Also, GNOME is accessible to users and developers with disabilities, thanks to the Accessibility framework that took several years of effort to develop. It makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix platform.
GNOME is used, developed, and documented in dozens of languages, and every piece of GNOME software can be translated into all languages. Additionally, developers are not tied to a single language with GNOME, as they can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, and even C# to produce high-quality applications. GNOME also strives to be an organized community with several hundred members, usability, accessibility, and QA teams, and an elected board.
The support provided to GNOME extends beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, as it is supported by major companies in Linux and Unix, such as HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Perhaps most importantly, GNOME is a worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and have fun together. If you are looking for an exceptional software community, GNOME is the perfect one to explore further.
