- corporations which forces the project to ignore large swaths of our

- a tremendous portion of its respect and goodwill in the wider free

+versa. This makes it possible for GNOME to tackle difficult technical
+goals that could not be solved with changes to GNOME alone. However, it
+also requires increased collaboration among plumbing developers, as
+those components must serve the needs of many different users and
+environments. In addition, GNOME's own components are increasingly used
