Yes — :). I saw this task and read the ‘bug’ report almost entirely, and
found strange that not even a small and efficient result followed so
much motivation. I didn't step in for the moment as I thought it was not
the task I was the most suited for.

I'd like to have something that is a bit exhaustive, still targeted at
the average person. I think we could have a first part ‘The main idea’
which allows the reader to quickly mentally represent bitmaps and
vectors (opposing the grid of pixels to the wonderful world of
geometry), then the details of real life: how computers deal with it,
how they are used in the world's diversity, where they do appear in
common uses of computers, etc.
You may also consider the opposite pedagogy: the needs then the means,
for a more absorbing article. Well… This would oblige readers to read
the whole page to get the theory.

I'm not called Brynn, thus I wonder — is it the following?

Yay! Before Django, I had only known WordPress.
