http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2002-February/msg00199.html (01)
"With Sun's latest press announcement of strengthening its commitment to
Linux and Linux compatibility, Sun is further committed to making GNOME the
preferred desktop for the Solaris operating environment. Sun's priorities
for the GNOME platform are threefold: stability, accessibility and API
compatibility. For GNOME to be a viable desktop for Sun customers it must
demonstrate a high level of robustness, be equipped with accessible
mechanisms which allow users with disabilities to take full advantage of
its functionality, and must offer a stable platform to ISVs. To further
these goals Sun is extending a project to accelerate and assist with the
GNOME 2.0 development effort. As a part of this project, contributions will
be made to the codebase to help complete any outstanding porting and
bugfixing of GNOME 2.0 modules, equip them with accessible interfaces,
improve their performance, and contribute documentation and localisation. " (02)
