Hi,

I remember that few years ago when I used Gnome for a little project of
mine, the two most difficult things I had to overcome had been:
(1) the use of Autotools to build stuff (I remember I used part of the
automatically generated output of the Anjuta IDE to get over this one)
(2) to know which library/frameworks to use

For (2) I wished there had been a page indicating what library/framework to
use for each common task with an explicit indication of what
library/frameworks NOT to use, because they have been deprecated. I read the
documentation problem improved A LOT in these past few years, so maybe there
is already such page somewhere on the Gnome website and someone will let
Pablo know about it.

Regards, chris
