GNOME project description for EuroOSCON .org day]

2006-08-05 Thread Marcus Bauer

 
   Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading  
 companies, the GNOME Foundation is an organization committed to  
 supporting the advancement of GNOME. GNOME is a free software project  
 that provides a complete, easy to use desktop for a variety of  
 operating systems, including GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris (tm), Operating  
 Environment, HP-UX, Unix, BSD and Apple's Darwin. More than 700  
 computer developers, including over 100 full-time, paid developers,  
 contribute their time and effort to the project.
 

New suggestion:

Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading
companies, GNOME is aiming to create a computing environment for the
general public that is completely free software. 

Target platforms are both the desktop as well as embedded devices. At
the same time GNOME is committed to enable people with disabilities
through an elaborated Accessibility framework as the result of several
years of effort.

It's a lot clearer :)

'comprise' never goes with 'of'.
'Comprising hundreds of volunteer developers...'

'Target platforms are both the desktop as well
embedded devices.'
You don't need 'both' AND 'as well'.
