Some notes about changes already solicited from the WG folks on IRC.
In all cases we'll have matching text and screenshots -- no random
non-matches.
* s/Developers,// at the top blurb
* Replace general GNOME placeholder with Inkscape/GIMP shot and
supporting text "Create and enhance photos, diagrams, and other
graphics with free apps like Inkscape and GIMP. Share your results
with friends and collaborators."
* Replace COPR placeholder with Devhelp/Glade shot and supporting
text: "Fedora Workstation gives you a complete set of tools and
documentation to create and deploy beautiful native apps."
* Replace Docker placeholder with Terminals shot and supporting text:
"Prefer the command line? All your favorite utilities are available
in the Terminal. Edit and control your source to your heart's
content."
Also, the photos are being replaced. The testimonial photo will show
our quoted person, Christine, using the standard GNOME desktop and
terminals where she normally does her daily work on Fedora.
The top photo will also be changed, I'm working with Mo right now to
figure out a better one that properly shows off the GNOME environment.
We are thinking something not-Firefox since the browser is common to
many environments, i.e. not emblematic enough.
