Re: [Gnewsense-dev] About gNewSense Draft document
Hello all, The document is complete now. Again, I'd like to ask if you could revise it and comment about it. You can download it[1] and launch it easily to read it in Yelp. The final document will be available in the Bazaar repository[2] and in the wiki, linked from the Documentation Set page[3]. Thanks in advance. 1. http://introsmedia.tuxfamily.org/gns/about-gnewsense-draft.tar.gz 2. https://savannah.nongnu.org/bzr/?group=gnewsense 3. http://wiki.gnewsense.org/DocumentationSet/DocumentationSet ___ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev

Well, the idea is to have this information in the wiki too, so people could be reading in a Web browser, in other operating system.

I need to use all of my 1024 pixels in screen width to not have the image overlap the table of contents. Wouldn't one of the screenshots suffice? - I feel a bit uneasy about mentioning Windows and the likes, although you make it clear that they are non-free. It helps some people to get the idea of what an operating system is. But when they read this, they would've already booted into gNewSense, so I'd guess that they would already see that it's similar to Windows. - "Free software allows people to do that, proprietary technology does not." - "look at the code that makes *up* the system" * What Can You Do With It - "gNewSense lets you choose" - "Pidgin lets you use" - "such as XMPP (Jabber),": XMPP is the official name, but Jabber is widely known. - "watch them in convenient presentations" - The screenshot contains an F-Spot window. F-Spot will be replaced by gThumb in the live CD, so it would be nice if the screenshot would reflect that. We'd like to avoid encouraging Mono apps. - The tiled screenshots are very nice. :) - "make your life easier by letting you use graphical dialogs" - "study how gNewSense works to learn how to change other components" * Try It Out - "as you would normally do" * Technology Background - "a modified version of the Linux kernel, with all the non-free parts taken out of it" - "The gNewSense community will not include" * Why Free Software - Including the article is a good idea. But note that it's licensed under GFDL no invariants, which is incompatible with CC-0 of the entire document. Thanks for writing this, keep up the great work.
