+<title>New GNOME meta ebuilds</title>
+<body>
+
+<p>
+With GNOME 3, the meta ebuilds have been split into many ebuilds, and no=
w have
+various USE-flags to control features. There are three main meta ebuilds=
:
+<c>gnome-base/gnome</c>, <c>gnome-base/gnome-fallback</c>, and
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-light</c>. There are other meta ebuilds pulled in by=
 these,
+but users should generally not use them directly.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<c>gnome-base/gnome</c> is the recommended way to install GNOME 3. See
+the package metadata.xml for descriptions of the available USE-flags.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-fallback</c> is the ebuild that installs only the fa=
llback
+mode. This ebuild should be used by people who know that their hardware =
cannot
+run GNOME Shell, and do not want to install it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-light</c> is the ebuild that installs the bare minim=
um
+libraries and applications required to run GNOME 3. You can toggle USE-f=
lags to
+choose whether to install GNOME Shell, GNOME Fallback, or both. This is
+<b>not</b> the recommended way to install GNOME 3, and is merely provide=
d for
+the convenience of users.
