Hi Dave, thats hard for me, because I did not support this inititative
initially and also it is still not clear for me where it should go. But
I can ask questions here to make it more clear for me.

I add your points here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/www.gnome.org


Here are my questions:

 * the projects name is "GNOME Mobile & Embedded Initiative (GMAE)" and
it should keep this name? As far as I understood the core idea is to
summarize some different platforms that all build on GNOME and make it
more visible?
 * Also GMAE is essentially a stripped down GNOME which is especially
made for mobile and embedded device?
 * Who is the intended primary audience? My reception is that this is
more developer related and companies.
 * For www.gnome.org/index.html I would say its more of a "Get GNOME" or
to show what GNOME is, also.


What I would suggest for now is to rather shorten the text and make sub
pages for:

> * A list of active participants (I can send this to people)
>   
/mobile/participants (TODO)
Which would be those listed in the press release?

/mobile/devices (TODO, take the stuff from /mobile and elaborate)

I would suggest link to http://live.gnome.org/mobile and adding stuff
there. Here also new stuff can be added without SVN access.

APIs would be nice.

dito. Maybe tell some core things on mobile, too - but the stuff could
be added to the wiki and then reedited and put on /mobile


That's about what I would suggest doing. I think splitting some things
to wiki would make the page shorter and more readable.
