I'm afraid that you probably need to strike the HIG off your list. There
is barely any material right now, and it is all in an experimental
state. The HIG 3 will happen, but we'll be targeting a future release.

I'd really like the GNOME 3 porting guide in good shape for the release
[1] however, and there are a few pages of draft developer documentation
that you might be interested in (though you should probably check with
their authors before shipping them) [2, 3].

Best wishes,

Allan
