ciao jon
ciao all the others

thank you very much jon for your submission!
the new texts are already online.



just a couple of comments for the other people who will send their text (hopefully) in the very near future:


> * Find fine fonts: The Open Font Library hosts the cream of
> non-proprietary typeface designs.
> * Share your typefaces: Individuals share their work here and benefit
> from collaborative contributions.
> * Learn how to make fonts: Become a better type designer with input
> from our global community.
> * Start using @font-face: Link in to Web Fonts! We host font files
> that you can directly link to from your sites.

each feature of the list should have no more than 4 words (please, have a look at the lists already on lgm.org)

in this specfic case, i had to cut the items to the ":": i hope, the result does make sense...
luckily, i could reuse the full list in the main description, since that one was very short.


> Creative Free and Open Source projects such as Blender, CinePaint,
> GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Audacity, Open Clip Art Library and others
> are highly successful projects which produce much video, audio,
> illustrations, photos, and other content. However, much code, media,
> and infrastructure are produced by each project somewhat independently
> which could be shared inter-project. For example, several of the
> aforementioned applications have their own brush types, color
> preferences, preferred media storage locations, keyboard shortcuts and
> file format converters. Sharing these resources saves developer time,
> increases productivity, and contributes to an overall improved user
> experience. Because of this overlap and the similarity of media, there
> is need to work together on standards, promotions, and inter-community
> plans. The Create Project catalyzes communication and sharing between
> Free and Open Source "creative software" communities by providing a
> third-party space for shared infrastructure.

1000 signs is a maximum! the goals is to have around 700 characters in your description!


every project should have a list of key features (a/ for keeping the layout consistent, b/ to allow the visitor to browse through a longer list of projects (s)he doesn't know))


hoping to get other submission very soon, i wish you all a wonderful weekend.

a.l.e



p.s.:

> (A_L_E: a new logo is coming soon for this project)

a/ i knew that it was not the real logo... but it was fun to take "that logo" :-)

b/ i had to take a logo for each project: and i wouldn't have thought that several projects at lgm don't have their logo on their website!
