Comments on "Introduction to GNOME 2.2"

[Theo van Klaveren <t vanklaveren student utwente nl>]

Hello everybody,

Since I am new to this list, allow me a short introduction: My name is
Theo van Klaveren, I'm a CS student from the Netherlands, I've been
using GNOME for a couple of years now and have been pretty happy with
it.

I'm continuing a discussion I started on Footnotes (which wasn't the
best place for it :) on this list on Sasha Kirillov's request.

My original post is at:

The word `applet' was removed from the GNOME interface with GNOME 2.0,
something which I personally fully agree with. It's a confusing and
unnecessarily technical term.

I'm willing to take a shot at the introduction chapter; English is not
my native language but I'm sure somebody will correct my mistakes :)
Is that okay with you? If so, where can I find this document in CVS?
