GNOME，即GNU网络对象模型环境 (The GNU Network Object Model Environment)，GNU计划的一部分，开放源码运动的一个重要组成部分。其目标是基于自由软件，为Unix或者类Unix操作系统构造一个功能完善、操作简单以及界面友好的桌面环境，它是GNU计划的正式桌面。绝大部分Linux发行版都是使用Gnome作为默认桌面。详细如下：
GNOME 2.31.6 Development Release
================================
Ahah! This release is one day late, and I can already hear some people
saying we're not good at respecting our schedule! I must admit that
straight after GUADEC is not the best timing for a GNOME release  I
guess the late tarballs due mail was already an indication of that, but
adding the facts that we wanted to make sure GTK+ 3 is not needed for
this release (thanks to all who added a --with-gtk=2.0|3.0 configure
flag!), and that a few modules were reluctant to build (hey, modules
should have vacation too!) can explain this extremely huge delay of a
few hours. To make this release GTK+ 3-free, we had to take the 2.30
versions of a few modules; this is only a temporary solution and
everything will go back to normal for 2.31.90.
GNOME 2.31 is looking great, though, and it means we'll have a good
GNOME 2.32! Really, try this release and you'll enjoy it. But the best
thing is that a lot of people are continuing working towards GNOME 3,
and this is the real exciting part! Go go go!
You all know what you have to do now. Go download it. Go compile it. Go
test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.
To compile GNOME 2.31.6, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2] (which
use the exact tarball versions from the official release):

--------------------------
This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable
and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes.
GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status.

module lists, please see our colorful 2.31 page on the wiki:
