1 For the most part it isn't that bad. I do see the problems with narration
2 as the howto should be written in a professional matter not using "I". I
3 also think that we are limiting the user in his/her options. We should
4 describe the window managers and state pros and cons about them. In
5 addition, I would like to put in additional help for other programs. I
6 think it would be fair to include setup and configuration information for:
7 Xine, Mplayer, K3b, xcdroast, xchat, gaim, open office,...etc. We should
8 try to cover every category of applications used for the end-user and
9 provide at least two choices for both.

11 Hi,
12 Any change you are interested in performing an audit on the desktop
13 configuraion guide? I'm not really happy with how it is currently.
14 Several lines say "I this and I that", making the guide less readable for
15 users (it's more like a listing on what the author did). Also, several
16 lines aren't very reader friendly, such as "Author> recommends" instead of
17 "The author recommends". As you're related with desktop-research, I hope
18 you can do this.Wkr,
19 Sven Vermeulen
