Is it a subset of GNOME desktop software?

3. The GNOME Mobile project makes modifications to existing GNOME desktop software to make it work well for mobile solutions.

That seems to merge these together in an unnecessarily confusing way:
1. GNOME Mobile is a set of GNOME software for mobile devices.
2. GNOME Mobile is a group of companies and individuals who use GNOME
software on mobile devices.

Personally, I'd add say "The GNOME Mobile community" or suchlike when
that's what we mean, to make 2. clearer.
