Re: release notes: first draft



Hi, 

two suggestion if I'm not too late already:

 1.) The first sentence is too long: Please stop it after "platforms"
     otherwise people with low attention will stop reading right there. 
 2.) "includes" sounds strange. Why not just remove it?

The paragraph then reads:

 "GNOME 2.14 is the latest version of the GNOME Desktop; a popular,
multi-platform desktop environment for Linuxâ, UNIXâ and other
platforms. Based on Free and Open Source Software, GNOME provides all
of the common tools computer users have come to expect of a modern
computing environment, as well as a flexible and powerful platform for
software developers."

Cheers,
Claus
