Hi Carsten and the list --
I really like the ideas, and I'm trying merely to shorten -- see
suggestions below.

I also do like Brian's description a lot. But it is 190 characters,
I am not sure if we can stretch the "about 140" this much? I have
been trying to shorten it a bit - please check if it still captures
the essence.....
Here is the current state of our reply to Sourceforge - please
comment
1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: "Our project is
[-foo-]." For example, "Our project is a tool that helps you wash
your
car."
Org-mode masters personal/project information your way, in plain
text,
with features out of your way until you want them, backed by the
power of Emacs.
Org-mode masters personal/project information your way, in plain
text, with features hidden until needed, backed by the power of

(unless (string-match "Our project is a" sourceforge-submission-
sentence 0)
(message "shouldn't we follow the instructions?"))
1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: "Our project is
[-foo-]."
This is a good point, maybe they will be picky about it.
Also, I am now thinking the 140 chars, what to the english native
speakers here think: Is this includin or excluding the given sentence
start?????
Our project is a tool to master personal/project data your way,
in plain text, with features out of your way until needed,
backed by the power of Emacs.

2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: "We
should win
because [-bar-]." For example, "We should win because we have a
strong
community and we solve a universal problem."
We should win because by allowing people to evolve their
productive selves, org-mode has created one of the best
communities in the open-source world.
We should win because org-mode, by making users more productive, has
spawned one of the best communities in the open-source world.
3. Please provide a logo (or screenshot, if you'd prefer) for your
project. It should be at least 640x480, but we'll also be showing
it as a thumbnail.
I am attaching the picture to this email, you can also retrieve it
from
http://orgmode.org/Org-mode-scc.png
(((Thanks to Greg Newman for fixing up the unicorn and pasting it
nicely into the screenshot - any objections against this picture?
Note that it needs to work as a thumbnail as well, which this one
will, I believe.)))
For the time being, I am sending you this link, which is a Google
Tech Talk
by me (Carsten Dominik, main author of Org-mode).

Before the deadline you should get another email from Bastien
Guerry,
with a link to a new video which we made just for this occasion.
If so, please link to that video instead.
5. In some cases, I'm mailing several people in your community
because I don't know who the right person is. If you're not the
right person for me to be dealing with, please let me know.
I certainly don't want to be irritating.
Main address: carsten.domi...@gmail.com
Secondary address: bastiengue...@googlemail.com
6. Our finalists are usually pretty interesting people. Are you
willing to be contacted by our public relations team about
interviews with the press?
Yes.
