Don't know. At least you might want first to be "software applications" rather than applications, but I don't really care (software applications sounds a bit redundant). >> The differences with rationale are: >> * Removed "small and large" since I don't know what it means and don't >> consider it important. > > Accepted > >> * Removed mention of cross platform applications, since it seems to me >> utterly irrelevant when the user is choosing a platform to get >> software for anyway. > > Do not agree.

I don't mind the software being cross platform, but don't think it important enough to highlight on front page. Again, do as you will.
