Thanks Richard! Yes, indeed, you may want to check out the discussion pages on those articles and see if this topic has come up before about creating a new page outright for "Libre".
You could further help your case by seeing if there is any content that would not fit appropriately on these two articles (or any other for that matter) but would make sense to be posted on a "Libre" article. If you find this to be the case, I'd even recommend adding an explanation and links to the "Discussion" page. // Matt On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 3:52 PM, Pharos <[email protected]>wrote: > You also might want to keep these articles in mind: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_terms_for_free_software > > Thanks, > Richard > > On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 6:37 PM, Matthew Senate <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Great work so far, I added some grammatical and clarification changes to > the > > first paragraph, would love to continue the conversation on-wiki.
