>Description:
This patch changes a couple items on the first page. 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!"

Put the lime in the coconut.
