That's just copping out. It has to be done, because people WILL ASK "What is
GNOME?" and we must have an answer. This forms part of our elevator pitch.

Sure. GNOME is not just a product, but a project, and that needs to be part
of the answer, but again... This is by no means related to the website. Now
that this part of the thread has been de-CCed from marketing-list, let's let
it die. :-)
