  * Do these groups accurately represent the expected audience of the site?
->[wiki:seanegan]: Yes, and in order of importance too. At each level, the audience both drops to perhaps under 5% of the group above it, and is likely to already have other outside resources.

+> MarkDoliner: I would say that it even drops to under 1%.  The website should absolutely be targeted toward end users.  Developers and pidgin developers can probably get everything they need from trac.
  * Is there anything that should be added to this list?
  * Other questions/comments?

  * What's the best way to describe Pidgin in the shortest amount of text? We want to tell people what Pidgin is in a compelling way in as few words as possible. (Users will often gloss over long descriptions).
->[wiki:seanegan]: I think your description is pretty spot-on. I think including the list of supported protocols is a huge selling point that immediately adds a ton of relevance over just a description. Good idea.

+> MarkDoliner: I think showing the logo for each IM network is better than listing them.
  * Any good taglines for Pidgin?
 > Gaim's tagline is "The Penguin Pimpin' IM client that's good for the soul." I don't know if Pidgin has/needs/wants a tagline ;)

 >> [wiki:sgarrity]: "The current site has "A multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client" - Not too exciting, but it works.
-> [wiki:joekepley]: I kept the 'multi-protocol IM client' bit as the start of the description. "multi-protocol" is a bit technical, but I couldn't think of anything simpler without being confusing.

 > [wiki:seanegan]: It would be fun to change the screenshot on a very regular basis. The silhouette is obviously of the buddy list and a conversation window. It would be fun to be able to change the conversation text frequently to in-jokes/obscure 80s pop culture references/current events. Clearly not a huge priority.
 
->>[wiki:seanegan]: It might be nice to have the full text of the latest news post on there instead of just a headline.
-> [wiki:joekepley]: I had the full text on there, actually, and pulled it at the last minute in order to keep the visual focus on the download and 'about' elements. We can add it back in and just make sure we focus things properly in the design.
