The first two sentences of Francesca are my favorite and the most important, I think. I am not sure how much of the rest is needed, anyway: The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. It doesn't matter how you define yourself or how others define you: we welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone s/within their areas of expertise,// as long as they s/can/interact/ constructive s/ members of/ly with/ our community. While much of the work s/of the Project/for our project/ is technical in nature, we s/will // (Luca) value and encourage contributions to s/the Project/Debian/ from those with expertise in s/non-technical/other/ (Stefano) areas and welcome such contributors s/as part of/in/ our community.
