Hi,

Revamping the intro text is a good idea, I was recently thinking about it ;)

People also come to the homepage to understand what the heck
"nongnu.org" is about :)

>   * I think it should aim to be very simple

I agree, this could be shorter.

This is a good example of what we teach people: properly citing
sources and licenses. (by contrast, I didn't find where that picture
is credited at fsf.org)


Also, one of our main goals is providing a state-of-the-art hosting
platform running on 100% free software. We only use free software to
run Savannah, and we share the Savane code (which is also AGPL3).

This is essentially the origin of Savannah:
