Beyond the Desktop

While the GNOME 2 Desktop and Developer Platform was designed so that users could continue to user their GNOME 1.x applications, in many cases they will not have to wait long for GNOME 2 versions of their favorite software. A number of developers have already begun porting their applications to the new platform prior to its release in order to take advantage of its new features. Examples include:

Gnumeric

Gnumeric, the spreadsheet. The 1.1.x series contains the GNOME 2 versions.

GNOME-DB

GNOME-DB, a database integration toolkit.

Galeon

Galeon web browser. A port is underway, but depends on completion of the GTK+ 2 port of Mozilla.

GIMP

GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Xchat

MrProject

File Roller

File Roller, an archive manager.
