Hi, a few weeks ago I introduced myself to this list - I'm an instructional designer interested in providing a 'first run' introduction to all new installs of gnome-do.
The current one-liner "GNOME Do allows you to quickly search for many items present on your desktop or the web, and perform useful actions on those items." is good but does not do justice to the elegance and power of gnome-do, I say. I have been searching for an image which would communicate the concept and intrigue someone to try it out. Today I came across a visual metaphor which could carry the introduction. A glove. Gnome-do makes Gnome a glove around your hand. "Fits like a glove". Using your fingers - typing - to do anything, it's all with typing, instead of using the mouse. You can grab and modify things with your hands/fingers - if you wear the Gnome-Do glove, so to say. It sound's a little corny in writing, but I can see the slick calfskin / leather / racing 5-finger glove with the Gnome logo/foot and the text Gnome-Do. That would communicate the concept. You get Gnome at your fingertips. Anyone else likes this metaphor? /magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GNOME Do" group.
