That's a big template you've got there. Bigger than some of the articles it's include in :-) -maybe, I'm just guessing. A smaller version would be better, IMO.Gronky03:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I havebeen bold and edited this template down in a manner different then I proposed above. Note that the articleGNU Compiler Collection had already deleted this template due to it's bloat (see the Page History) (I restored it). I noted that there was a one-to-one correspondence between the first version of this template andList of GNU packages, which is incomplete, and misses some of the significant packages, e.g. Ghostscript.
What I did:
The template as it is now, is designed as anavigation aid to themost significant articles about the GNU Project, instead ofexhaustive, yet incomplete,lists of both GNU software and GNU people (as well as the most significant articles about the GNU Project).Lentower04:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The box was still very big, and the people listed as GNU's developers, documenters, and advocates were haphazard and misleading. So I removed the developers entry because (1) GNU, strangely, hasn't made any (or many) high profile programmers, and (2) the people listed, and those left out, showed a complete lack of criteria. I also removed the documenters entry, for the same two reasons plus the third reason that there were only two people there, plus a red link, plus a link to a section of the FSF article which is not relevent. And for the "speakers and advocates" section, I replaced the arbitrary list with the list of official GNU speakers. There are still some articles that this box is included in where the article is shorter than the box, but the number will now be very few.Gronky22:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
