The intention was that they would be two separate documents, so that you could have both Gnome 1 and Gnome 2 installed in parallel. I doubt many people are even trying to do that these days. Given that we can't even manage to maintain our current documentation, there's really little hope that Gnome 1 documentation would ever be maintained. It's not installed or put in the tarball, so it's just a relic in CVS. -- Shaun

I'm currently taking Daniel's edits to the 'Windows' section of the wiki and putting them into XML. It looks like someone's made some edits to the Nautilus sections too. Those will need to be looked at and the new content merged in with the XML. > Thanks, I had noticed some documents were not used, > but I was not sure > why. neither am I! > How does something get "officially deprecated" ?

In this case, what I mean is that Shaun said to me in IRC: 'Yeah, I need to delete those' or something like that :) > I noticed .../gnome-user-docs/gnome-users-guide is > the 1.4 > documentation, is that because GNOME 1 is still > maintained in CVS ? There's a lot of weird stuff in CVS. One time I forgot where the user docs were, so I went looking through different modules. I left some notes here: http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/CvsModules In particular, /gnome-user-docs/introduction-to-gnome/ looks like another attempt at a gnome user guide. What is its status? Is it used by anything? Can we use useful content from there for the user guide? ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
