Some random links from Google are listed below.  Many more are available by
performing simple searches.  As previously mentioned I believe there is much
of value in RISC OS' GUI that we can make use of in GNOME.

Some general info and a few screenshots from some user's site:

More GUI-design-centric info: (Be sure to follow the links to projects to
build RISC OS-like GUIs for Unix under "The Future" at the bottom of the
article):

A few additional sites for screenshots etc:

http://www.arcsite.de/magazin/software/riscos/  [German but has screenshots
including one demonstrating drag-saves]

The RISC OS Styleguide:
I couldn't find the Styleguide online but I have a print copy that's a few
years old (yet has some good stuff in it).  I will send it to the first
person who emails me back and who will take a genuine look at it to try and
find those things of value to the GNOME project.

Pre-styleguide guidelines (i.e. quite old now but still has a few things of
worth):
