* There is a much nicer image over on
http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/press/
IIRC, these press images were mirrored on the TT site as well.
Thank you. I can't keep track of all of this. :)
Also, thanks to Simon for doing another one.
Also, I think GIMP needs more work on its UI usability.
* In the spec sheet, the memory bandwidth values lack a unit (MB/s?)
"All numbers are given in units of Mp/s, unless otherwise stated."
* Do we need physical dimensions in millimetres as well?
I don't know. We didn't have it at all until someone asked for it.

* Xilinx, Spartan and Lattice are trademarks. We definitely want to
acknowledge them properly in a press release, or these companies would
have to sue us or at least have their lawyers send us a nastygram (or
risk losing their trademark). It also looks more professional.
The "showcase" image I made has the following (with actual TM signs
instead, but I can't seem to type them easily):
- Xilinx(r) SpartanTM 3S4000
- LatticeTM XP10
I assume the TM should be superscript. The (R) also?
What about OpenGL? Conexant? X11?
Wasn't OpenGL sold? Why does SGI's stuff still indicate that they
hold the trademark?
At the bottom, there should be something like "Xilinx and Spartan are
trademarks or registered trademarks of Xilinx, Inc. Lattice is a
trademark of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation."
Got it.
Yes, I know I'm suffering from broken-recordness on this :-). However,
there is enough FUD about free software developers not
respecting "intellectual property" out there already, we don't need
them to add free design hardware developers to that list (although they
probably will anyway).
Keep repeating it. :)
* "Given the high cost of hardware development, the Open Graphics
Project cannot function as many loose-knit Free Software projects. They
have developed legal frameworks to assist in the legal and financial
aspects of the project."
That should be rephrased I think. I understand what you're trying to
say, but you're not making it easy :-).
* At the end of "Licensing", "the all remaining software"
Typographical notes: I think the spacing between the headers and the
following text is too big. Perhaps I've been looking at LaTeX output
too much lately, but somewhat wider margins and filled-out text would
look better. I'm not sure this is even relevant since I'm not sure in
what format this stuff is going to be distributed.
I just didn't try all that hard yet. The test should be reformatted,
possibly in LaTeX.
