We quite often mentioned a phrase "easier to understand for non-geeks" in this thread.
Are we targetting tech-inclined gadget-lovers? (but non-geeks hence not necessarily developers) If so, here's the reaction of one of them (current text is perfect for geeks though): NemoMobile > > The future of mobile is in our hands - today. > Presenting Linux operating system for your mobile! > Mobile = phone, springs to mind. > Feature rich. Free and open source. First of its kind. > OMG! NemoMobile is based on the lightweight Mer Linux core which enables a vast > range of devices: from interactive alarm clocks to car entertainment > systems and smart TVs. > Possible interpretations (both disregard the 'Mer' as an irrelevant bit, never heard of, why another term?): * So it runs on all of them already! Cool! * Wow, I can interact with my alarm clock on my phone, or put my phone with Nemo into a car and it will entertain me, or wow watch TV on my Nemo powered phone!! Become a user and enjoy. Try it on your mobile phone, tablet, LCD shopping > list on your fridge, ... , and tell us how it went! Try? You want me to test it? So no-one else has done this before? So it is not a mature product? "How it went"? You mean it most probably will fail? But at the beginning you wrote that it runs on a vast range of devices! Means it's I cannot use it as my daily phone? Please state that explicitly in first paragraphs, as you are raising false expectations. > If you mold it to make tea, invite us! ?????? (Obviously that person never heard about that Qt coffee making demo, so didn't another vast majority of actual geeks/devs, too. Even those with Qt experience might have never heard of coffee/tea demos) > The more users the merrier. The more feedback the better. > It's pure fun, and we're one of the friendliest open-source communities > you've ever met. Excited? So are we -- join us on #[email protected] > leave a comment here and lets influence the future of mobile, together! Ok, but you raised my interest only to reveal the not-so-cool true reality. I have real doubts now about starting to learn to program and delve into Nemo, because as I go I feel I might be mislead in my journey once again.. So, either we intend attract geeks, or need to revise the text :) Cheers!
