Your suggestion seems to be exactly the opposite of what I wrote in many ways. Maybe I don't understand what you mean or what you want to communicate with that sentence. > KDE: control your digital life You dropped the reference to 'everyone'. You added a reference to KDE. You dropped the 'a world in which' making it less inspirational. Altogether it seems to me more like a marketing slogan. Can you say why you made those changes? Something I think you are right about is: > Freedom, technology, software, privacy, all of that is IN there. So for me, this is quite good: "A world in which everyone has control in their digital life" I think it is good for all of the same reasons in my previous email. It is also more concise.

> KDE: control your digital life and > KDE - Be in control of your digital life. are both fantastic taglines, but not really visions. They sound like KDE already allows that _today_, it's not talking about a goal for the future to aim for. We should keep one of those as a tagline for KDE, one we can put on marketing material of all kinds, but I think it's a bit too short for a vision for the future. ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community

This one completely avoids stating whether KDE does technology, software, GUI, or whatever, so no conflict there. Maybe "envisions" is a bit passive ? E.g. something like "works for" or "fights for" ? still my favourite KDE T-shirt is "KDE - digital freedom". But that's now probably really too short. ;-) Alex ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
