" Haa, Sun made a fairly big commitment toward usability and accessibility
" in GNOME from version 1 until end of GNOME 2 development. Including
" writing a fair amount of the code in atk and the corresponding
" documentation.
" 
" Which the new tablet/smartphone (and javascript) metaphor of GNOME 3 the
" new developers basically just threw it all away - it was believed
" simpler to redo Sun's work...
" 
" Which means that GNOME 3 accessibility isnt up to what it should be.

but gnome 2 hasn't just quietly gone away.  linux folks dissatisfied
with g3 formed a group to continue g2 development, which led to spinoff
mate' and i think also cinnamon.  that suggests gnome 2 is still in
fertile ground.
