I've made a jillion edits to the "What is GNOME?" section over time, and I'm still not totally happy with it. This version focuses a bit more on what having GNOME means to the user. The current text talks about GNOME from a design standpoint, but my proposed text is a little more towards the answer to "what will GNOME do for me?" Also, I've changed "committers" to "developers" because you guys do much more development than committing. Also because most n00bs have no idea what a "committer" is. Also, Oleg Minaev wrote an email to freebsd-gnome@ questioning the line "Simple solutions to build problems - quickly!" and frankly, I agree with him. That was always an awkward line, but it hadn't occurred to me before how much it looks like it's offering tools to help build a problem. My patch changes that line to "One stop solution shop!" >How-To-Repeat: Put the lime in the coconut. >Fix: --- frontpage.patch begins here --- Index: index.xsl =================================================================== RCS file: /home/dcvs/www/en/gnome/index.xsl,v retrieving revision 1.90 diff -u -d -p -r1.90 index.xsl --- index.xsl 14 Oct 2006 16:36:13 -0000 1.90 +++ index.xsl 10 Mar 2007 14:14:39 -0000 @@ -104,15 +104,19 @@ everything is easy to use, attractive, powerful, and works the way you expect.</p> - <p>The major components of GNOME are the - <a href="http://www.gnome.org">GNOME desktop</a>, a - straightforward window-based desktop environment, and the + <p>The + <a href="http://www.gnome.org">GNOME desktop</a> is a + window-based desktop environment that provides many + business, productivity, and entertainment + applications, and makes non-GNOME programs faster and + easier to run.
