-    This is something that has been on the drawing board
-    for a while. The lock screen has a single primary aim: to provide useful
-    functionality when the screen is locked. Right now, this means we:
+    The lock screen is a major new feature for GNOME 3.6. It provides an attractive display 
+    while your computer is locked, as well as useful functionality, such as the display of notifications 
+    and the ability to control media playback.

-      display notifications, so that you can see what is happening even if the
-      device is locked, and you can get a summary of what you've missed when you
-      return to your machine (you can turn this off if you have privacy
-      concerns, and we plan to add extra configurability in the future)

-    You shouldn't have to enter a password in order to pause a song that you are
-    playing, and you shouldn't have to dig around your machine to see what has

+    The lock screen means that you can see what is happening while you are away from your computer, and 
+    it allows you to get a summary of what has been happening while you have been away. It also means 
+    that you can easily change the volume, skip a track or pause your music without having to enter 
+    a password.

-    The new lock screen also accomplishes several secondary goals. It creates a
-    much smoother and more satisfying login experience. Creating the lock
-    screen, we made something that feels nice to use, and which sets
-    the tone for your encounter with your device. The screen is designed to resemble a
-    curtain, or a shield, that is removed to reveal the login screen beneath.
-    That suggestion of layering and physicality enhances the experience of using
-    GNOME 3, and is a pattern that is being introduced in other places.
+    Login has also been addressed as a part of the lock screen feature. The result is a smoother and 
+    more satisfying experience when you log into or unlock your computer.
