Bad grammar and phrasing and an unclear message
by couard anonyme on Wednesday 01/Nov/2000, @09:04

The three paragraphs at the top do not sound right to a native English speaker (the third is meaningless to the point of being embarassing). I know they are the same as with previous version of the site but I complained about them too ;-) Here's my rewrite (note the changed order which makes more sense):

KDE is a Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use and contemporary graphical design with the stability of the Unix operating system.
KDE provides a solid foundation for a growing number of applications. KDE includes a high quality development framework for Unix that makes developing software easier and faster, from simple applications to complex office suites and word processors.
KDE is an Internet project and is truly open in every sense. Development takes place on the Internet and is discussed on our mailing lists, USENET news groups, and IRC channels to which we invite and welcome everyone.

,p>There might be mistakes here too, but anything is an improvement over the current poorly worded version.
