The GNOME Documentation Style Guide is the primary style guide for writing GNOME user documentation. Many parts of it are also applicable to GNOME developer documentation. It includes general information about documentation goals and usability, discussion of audience and tone, information on how to write translatable and clear documents, and a detailed word list so that authors can use consistent terminology.
The GNOME Documentation Style Guide was written by a team of writers from the GDP and Sun Microsystems including John Fleck, Alexander Kirillov, Pat Costello, and Eugene O'Connor.
