Dear GNOME fans,

I had a long weekend and decided to write a non-trivial user-level
introduction to GNOME for new users.  This might not be too
interesting to most of you, since you have been following GNOME for a
while already, but it has many screenshots and should get new people
going.

I released it yesterday, and you should now find it in the CVS
repository.  It is in gnome-core/core-docs/gnome-intro.sgml, and I
have included the generated HTML files.

This means that next time you do a "make install" in an up to date
gnome-core gnome-intro will be installed too.  You should then be able
to read it with gnome-help-browser by going to the "gnome docs"
section from the top level.

I have also put the docs on my web page, and you can find them at
  http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/gnome-intro/book01.html

I will not go back to them for a few days, but I will collect feedback 
and incorporate it, so if you see something wrong please let me know!
I also warn you that I have not done a good proof-reading yet.
