One thing I feel is extremely important for the Free Software Foundation to get up and running is a website that explains the importance of Free Software to people who are new to free software. The website should illustrates very clearly the importance of free software, with a few initial SHORT arguments. It should have only the most important topics written in non-technical language.
Ideas:
- What are the most important KEY topics?
- The 'Free Speech, not Free Beer' concept.
- The 4 freedoms that all users should have, as specified in the GPL.
- Perhaps compile a list of the five most asked questions when people are new to free software.
-Why should I care? -How do people make money? -What does free software do that my (Mac, Windows, whatever) doesn't do?
- I feel we need example for many of our explanations
- Videos would be great
- The site needs to be pretty and NOT messy
A couple of really nice sites which have similar aims are software liberty and get gnu linux
