I'd love to see a company do this and offer free certification for free software. Obviously, the free software would probably be lower priority, but it would be interesting.

They have a lot of things that you mention: an IDE, documentation, an agenda, etc. I think that right now, the most attractive and accesible way to start to programming GNOME-friendly applications is using Mono.

Here’s a related idea though : why not use Gnome(-ish) apps as a test bed for this certification ? Several gnome applications (either official ones or unrelated to the gnome project) don’t fully respect these guidelines.

gaim : uses dbus but not gconf
epiphany : doesn’t use gnome-vfs
…

While this may be a lot of work, it sounds worthwhile.

Some smaller modifications were done through GnomeGoals (GOption, proper i18n in configure scripts). Why not extend it to add support for other gnome libraries?
