Actually, that's in the 2nd and 3rd elevator pitches. For those new to linux, it's not really relevant - we shouldn't bother them with the infighting/competition. But the 2nd and 3rd level (ppl who know linux and ppl who already contribute) should certainly be told about that. But again, if it's not in there clear enough, fix it, as I did have it in mind when writing. > Will > > -- > Will Stephenson, KDE Developer, openSUSE Boosters Team > SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB > 21284 (AG Nürnberg) > Maxfeldstraße 5 > 90409 Nürnberg > Germany
