Silly as it might sound, I discovered that if you select, copy and
paste the text of any gnome.org/project/ page into the HTML editor of
Plone, it will be copied with the images embedded. I wasn't able to
insert images other way.

Also the option to use only a textarea instead of the HTML editor is
broken since I got a textarea of 10x300 (or something very tall).

I bootstrapped the devhelp page, I can't upload images -don't know
why- via the html editor so I limited myself to only text.

I added some initial text to Simply Powerful Desktop, Multilingual and
Shipped by.
May I suggest we use a little logo of each distribution in the Shipped
by page? I assume we would like to ask for permission of some of them
(I only know about Debian's policy).

I control-copied a part of EoG page and 2 sections of Epiphany site.
Please note the _control-copied_.

We need to find someone with a good story. I don't have one :(.

Makes sense in my opinion.
