 <synopsis>
- <p>These tutorials are designed for people who already know how to write in JavaScript, and who have GNOME installed on their computers already, but are new to developing GNOME applications. If you don't already know JavaScript, or if you need help getting GNOME set up, take a look at these resources first:</p>
-<list type="numbered">
-  <item><p><link href="http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html";>Eloquent JavaScript</link> is a free, Creative Commons-licensed book, which explains the basics of JavaScript programming. Since you won't be writing JavaScript for the web, you only need to read up to chapter 10 or so.</p></item>
-  <item><p><link href="http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/";>Download GNOME</link> as part of a distribution, like Fedora, openSUSE, or Ubuntu. If you're already using one of those distributions, you can install GNOME using its package manager, then log out and choose a GNOME session as you log back in.</p></item>
-</list>
- <p>JavaScript is normally seen as a basic web scripting language, but despite its simplicity it's also a first-class language for writing GNOME applications with. Unlike with other platforms, GNOME applications written in JavaScript aren't web apps running on the desktop and using a limited set of features. In fact, <link href="https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Tour";>GNOME Shell</link> itself is written in JavaScript, and you can use JavaScript to write your own extensions for it as well as full-featured applications.</p>
- <p>These tutorials will teach you the basics of how to do so, and show you how to find more detailed reference material for when you are ready to move on.</p>
+  <p>JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages on the web. It's not just for the web, though. If you have even a basic understanding of JavaScript, you can write full-fledged applications for GNOME. <link href="https://live.gnome.org/GnomeDocuments";>GNOME Documents</link> is written in JavaScript, and so is <link href="https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Tour";>GNOME Shell,</link> the most basic part of GNOME.</p>
+  <note style="tip"><p>GNOME Shell is what you see when you click on "Activities" in the top-left corner of your screen. It also controls the clock and the rest of the top panel. Besides showing how you to write GNOME applications, these tutorials will also show you how to use JavaScript to write GNOME Shell extensions, which give it new features or change the way it does things.</p></note>
