Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It was referred in a discussion at gentoo-core that the Gentoo's about |
| 4 |
page was needing some improvements. In special, the Larry the Cow image |
| 5 |
which is taking too much space and has rendered text on it. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I've been working in a improved version [1] which tries to address the |
| 8 |
following topics: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1) What is Gentoo for more technical people? |
| 11 |
2) What is Gentoo for newbies? |
| 12 |
3) Why migrate at all to Gentoo? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Gentoo's about page should be an appealing page and possibly an entropy |
| 15 |
point for future Gentoo users, so we should not overestimate the |
| 16 |
importance of it. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I am now starting a discussion at this list looking for other opinions, |
| 19 |
suggestions or criticism regarding the proposed version [1] which |
| 20 |
already includes ideas from other developers, namely Paweł Hajdan, Roy |
| 21 |
Bamford, Jorge Vicetto and Christian Faulhammer. I thank them for their |
| 22 |
suggestions. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
For starting, are there any ideas for a better phrase which invites |
| 25 |
people to use Gentoo? In the proposal there is: |
| 26 |
"At one point we all were new to Gentoo and learned about it, now it |
| 27 |
is your turn." |
| 28 |
A developer expressed that the phrase is weird and I agree. |
