At least, unless the way we answer is to point people to a page about all the operating systems that are using GNOME as their desktop. People who have Linux on their system, but not GNOME, and are technically capable of installing GNOME themselves are just a tiny fraction of our users. GNOME is not Firefox, it's not the GIMP, etc. Doing some referer analysis on www.gnome.org might be interesting, but things I think people might be interested in are things like: - What is GNOME? - Why is GNOME cool? - I'm using GNOME, I want to get add-on software - I'm using GNOME, how do I get involved As rough classification, people coming into www.gnome.org will fall into two categories: A) People who read about GNOME or heard about GNOME and want to find out what it is B) People already using GNOME who want to use it as a "portal" Regards, Owen
