<PRE>Evidently, I had thought about some items to go into such a list: there 
is a short list at the end of this message - far from exhaustive and a 
very personal view, seen from the kind of user I represent.

My items do not cover the ground, but the list should be kept short: 
there is need to consider arguments to attract canditate users coming 
from windows, maybe also the &quot;hugging&quot; aspect proposed by Romain, but I 
do not feel competetent in that domain. Arguments should fit into some 
kind of a &quot;template&quot;.

I like the examples of graphical competence that pop up everywhere in 
Mageia: if such a list is really implemented and is short, how about 
adding a kind of line-drawing sketch to the presentation of each 
argument (style: the bug that appears/appeared during the install 
sequence) - that might help to take away the taste of &quot;oh, 
self-promotion&quot; and make people laugh.

Apropos hugging aspect: I do not think that such a list should primarily 
address emotional aspects, it should address the potential user who - 
and that is at the intellectual level - realizes that there are 
alternatives, and starts scratching his head.

--------------

Quality:
Mageia is promising to be as solid and perfect as Mandriva at the best
of its times (Mandriva heritage)

Language support:
Mageia wants to provide a box that perfectly &quot;speaks&quot; many languages -
its structure and its anchor in the user community have already now
produced excellent results (Mandriva heritage + enhancement)

Multi-profile support:
Mageia offers and maintains application that address the needs of a 
large variety of user communities - with applications ranging from 
game-playing and music-listening to scientific and engineering 
applications (Mandriva heritage)

Leading-edge / stability equilibrium:
&lt;text needed to go in here - delicate, it touches the rolling release 
discussion&gt;

User &lt;-&gt; maintainer interaction:
&lt;text needed to go in here&gt; (Mageia community concept)

Friendly human side: (quoting Romain)
&lt;text needed to go in here&gt;

Sorry to be so late with my reply - I had not created a filter for 
mageia-marketing and thunderbird had put away all your messages as junk (-
