Ok, I get your points. I just felt that rather than reacting to the
content we have, we should shape the site around where we wanted to go.
To me, the novice computer user is a new class to GNOME. We are going to
have to bend ourselves a bit to accommodate him. I'm thinking most
future GNOME users won't know the difference between a binary and
source. (Like Windows or Mac users.) Isn't that where we're headed?

I agree that "Community" does have a nice ring to it, but I just felt
that it wouldn't be the first place a new GNOME user would go poking
around. It strikes me as a general posting point for broad ideas. (Or
some sort of a chat room place.)

Definitely not as descriptive as I want, but clear about the class of
person we're addressing. That's why I also offered:

Haven't been struck with the perfect term yet, just working on a
concept.
