The shorter the better.

"GNOME 2.14 release, and it doesn't suck that much" with a URL would be 
a great release from my point of view. We need to remind people what 
GNOME is, and point them towards the release notes, and (as Tom said) 
include some notes explaining TLAs, but I like yours best, if we can add 
one piece of punch to it. Plus, I'd like to avoid using Linux n a press 
release, and either use GNU/Linux, or drop any mention of platforms. I 
hate those "the leading..." bits anyway, I'd drop it completely, and 
leave the nicer "the easiest and friendliest free software desktop" 
description at the end.


Cheers,
Dave.
