Strongly agreed. If we're in the business of revamping the about box, we
need to consider GNOME's current needs wrt informing and educating
people who are looking to find out more information about GNOME. I have
no objection to pitching GNU that way, but it shouldn't be our highest
priority, and certainly not more important than our own news or
developer sites.
