Remove the screenshot from the docs too, its old and needs to be redone to meet our guidlines. Write the Getting Started section, changing terminology to "open" instead of "start." Marco would it be worthwhile to add a docs specific changelog? --- help/C/epiphany.xml | 179 ++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------- 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-) (limited to 'help') diff --git a/help/C/epiphany.xml b/help/C/epiphany.xml index c3962452c..aff6ceb39 100644 --- a/help/C/epiphany.xml +++ b/help/C/epiphany.xml @@ -96,133 +96,57 @@ Introduction &fr; is a GNOME web browser based on the mozilla rendering - engine.

- - - - - - Simplicity: - -Epiphany aims to utilize the simplest interface possible for a browser. Keep -in mind that simple does not necessarily mean less powerful. We believe -the commonly used browsers of today are too big, buggy, and bloated. Epiphany -addresses simplicity with a small browser designed for the web -- not mail, -newsgroups, file management, instant messenging or coffee making. The UNIX -philosophy is to design small tools that do one thing, and do it well. - -Epiphany also address simplicity with modularity to make a light and powerful -application. If something can be implemented using external applications -or components, we use it rather than wasting resources in the web browser. -Integration will be achived with CORBA, Bonobo, and the ever popular -command line. - -Mail will be handled with your favorite e-mail application (Evolution, pine, -mutt, balsa, pronto, whatever). - - - - Standards compliance: - -The introduction of non-standard features in browsers could make it difficult -or impossible to use alternative products like Epiphany if developers embrace -them.
