FWIW, here are some minor suggestions for the splash screen. See attached
screen shot for reference. If you disagree, fine: I won't defend the
suggestions.
. Put the Copyright at the very bottom.
. Move "This is GNU Emacs..." to just after (or just before)
"GNU Emacs is one component of the GNU operating system.
Identify it and say what it belongs to at the same place.
. Or else put "This is GNU Emacs 22..." at the bottom
(followed by the Copyright).
. Put the "If an Emacs session crashed..." just below
"Recover Crashed Session". Better: just drop "If an
Emacs...". It's not needed if "Recover..." is there.
. Align all of the descriptions of the menu items.
If they all need to move to the right a bit, that's OK.
Aligning them makes them more readable.
. Drop "using Info". Don't mention "Info" unless you
explain what you mean.
. Drop "You can do basic editing with the menu bar and
scroll bar using the mouse". Useless.
. Change "Important" to "Useful".
