Overall, the article looks excellent to me as well. Thanks to all<br>
involved in putting this article together! Thanks Neville, William, and<br>
Charles. :)<br>
<br>
I only have one lingering thought on this article -- in the last section<br>
about Software, there are some pretty sharp words said about GNOME.<br>
While I completely agree that constructive criticism is important and it<br>
is a good thing to voice concerns, I don't feel like this Magazine<br>
article is the best place to do it.<br>
<br>
Instead of focusing on the negatives of GNOME, I would try to replace it<br>
with some positive thoughts either on the desktop or another<br>
environment. Using positive words over the negative will have a more<br>
resounding impact on the reader and will also reflect well on Fedora.<br>
Since there is such a large readership base for the Magazine, I could<br>
imagine someone reading the last bit and thinking, "Oh, even Fedora<br>
contributors don't even like Fedora!" Obviously this isn't true if you<br>
read the rest of the article, but it can be easy for someone who is<br>
skimming to take things out of context.<br>
<br>
However, like I said, overall, I think this is a fantastic article and<br>
is a great testament to the Fedora community. With a little bit of<br>
rephrasing to the bottom portion, I think this article will be ready to<br>
ship on Friday.<br>
<br>
