Warning: Opinions Follow! :)

I wouldn't bring this up if the message were anywhere else but I find
myself staring at the Jenkins startup screen more than I would like. It is
also probably the first thing any new Jenkins user sees.

Currently, the message <#L54]> reads:

Please wait while Jenkins is getting ready to work

It's hard to explain why, but from my perspective as a native (American)
English speaker, that strikes me as incorrect at worst, or slightly awkward
at best. The word, "while," makes the present-continuous form, "is
getting," seem strange.

This works better (present-simple form):

Please wait while Jenkins gets ready to work

The following may be even better (albeit only slightly) than the above,
since it's less redundant. (Note: I care less about this change.)

Please wait while Jenkins gets ready

I'm interested to know what others think.

Thanks,
Jamie
