I discovered TDE almost by accident at its very beginning. I was looking for a nice and light desktop to put atop of Ubuntu since I was allergic to the KDE4 cashew thingy. I tried some DE and adopted TDE because of its many qualities and also because I was already a KDE3 user. If the WEB page you propose to add had existed at this time, my search for a nice, light and solid DE had been a lot shorter. I use the Trinity Desktop both at home and at my job and I never miss an occasion to promote its qualities to my colleagues. So, as a TDE fan, I vote for your idea. It can only attract more TDE users, what is we all want. Regards, Pascal
