I agree with you that the previous mockups were certainly for a = different audience. Personally, I believe the original mockups would be = better, while this one more honestly reflects the current state of the = project. After 1.0 (or whatever we are calling it when it becomes = stable-er and easier to install) the first websites would be much = better. > Just one comment: I know that the screenshots are just placeholders, = but > there is no GNOME in the system distribution, yet all but one of the > screenshots show the GNOME Shell. I had noticed this too - I believe the person who made them had built = GNOME him(or her)self, outside of the guix package system. As such they = would be better suited to the first set of websites, as by the time we = release the full version I hope there will be GNOME. > I even wonder if screenshots are necessary at all or if it wouldn't be > better to show some diagrams of e.g. how the store works instead. The > diagrams were used in the slides but they are not in the official = docs, > yet I found them immensely helpful in understanding the system. Diagrams are necessary to understand the system, but not to use it. = Possibly better to keep them in the docs (assuming the docs will be = available on the website). >=20 > ~~ Ricardo Felix Friedlander =
