In response to feedback from our users, we > formed the GNOME UI team, focused solely on improving the > user experience.

The robustness and utility of the GNOME libraries > and development tools has been improved across the board. > > * Documentation. The majority of the GNOME APIs are now fully > documented. > > * Support.
