Thank you Carl, I have updated the latest version http://openetherpad.org/urfxx467L6 with your thoughts. I learned a lot how easier it is to read, when split into concise sentences. I think it sends the correct message now. It attempts to minimise the amount of Nemo/Mer/UX/middleware confusion, and targets good audience. It implicitly says that Nemo is WIP and it won't be pure fun. OS is stabilising at rapid rate however, so a level of neutral positiveness in the text is OK.
