One minor tweak, perhaps. I¹m not so happy with the ³You should², myself, on two counts:
³Donate! Become a Friend of GNOME and help provide a free desktop for all users!² gets rid of two unnecessary words, and ³should² for me has a connotation of obligation, and invites me to think ³Well, I know I should, but...² They know they¹re ³you²; don¹t tell em what they should dothey don¹t do what they should do all day long, and so do Itell em what to do. (Also, I like a stressitalicized?--on the word ³all². There¹s an important subtext in there, in terms of localization, of accessibility, etc. Maybe we¹ll even get that gender-neutral-ish equal-opportunity-ish thing working sometime. Shoot me now.)
