The libgnome software is a library for the GNOME platform.
One of the most remarkable features of GNOME is its usability. The community boasts of professional and volunteer usability experts who have created a set of Human Interface Guidelines for Free Software. Most of the core GNOME software is already adopting these principles, making the software easy to use for everyone.
Additionally, the GNOME project has focused on making its software accessible to people with disabilities. The Accessible framework is the result of several years of effort, and it makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix platform.
It is worth mentioning that GNOME is an international project that is used, developed, and documented in dozens of languages. To ensure that every piece of GNOME software is translated into all languages, the GNOME translation project provides the necessary resources to translators.
As a developer, one of the remarkable features of GNOME is that you are not tied to a single language. With GNOME, you can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, and even C# to develop high-quality applications that integrate smoothly into the rest of your Unix or Linux desktop.
The GNOME community strives to be organized, with a foundation of several hundred members, usability, accessibility, and QA teams, and an elected board. GNOME releases are defined by the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six months.
Finally, the GNOME project is supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. However, perhaps the most important thing about GNOME is the worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and generally have fun together. They are the backbone of the GNOME project, and you can become a part of this exciting community by visiting the GNOME Developer's site.
