Uhm, but they're using www.debian-desktop.org, which surely violates our namespace? If they'd use just a random domain and go talking about Debian, that would be fine, but I'm /really/ uneasy about them having that domain. BTW, their content changed back to something much more neutral and non-commercial (basically, a guy talking about his packages) when I just checked again.
