Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.18, the latest version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment.

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies, artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great release to be proud of - thanks very much
to every contributor!

You'll find information about GNOME 2.18 in our release notes, linked from the 2.18 start page.

Meanwhile, GNOME developers around the world are looking forward to working on fresh new features for the next version of GNOME, due in September, 2007.

Enjoy!

Just one please

If Gnome was to switch their way of handling sound, it would be nice if they could reuse as much as possible from KDE4, or convince the KDE people to use something even better.

There should be one way of handling sound on the free desktop, anything else make life unnecessarily complicated to the users. X11 have managed to display windows created from various toolkits for years, regardless if they were from remote or local applications. We need something similar for sound.
