Rephrase welcome text

Created by: mray

Here is what I have in mind: FreedomBox is designed to be your own inexpensive server at home. It runs free software and offers an increasing number of services ranging from a calendar or jabber server to a wiki or VPN. Our web interface allows you to easily install and configure your apps. Be your own host!

This is what it would look like: sptqi0il3m

The choice of examples given can be changed. Calendar, jabber, wiki and VPN just seemed a good set to me.

the current text

FreedomBox is your personal server. It couples free software with always-on, inexpensive and power-efficient hardware. Plug it into your home network, set it up and it will start hosting your address-book, calendar or blog right from your living room. With a few clicks in its web interface FreedomBox also runs a privacy defending VPN, ad-blockers and many more apps and services. A web interface acts as the central hub, offering one-click installs and simple configuration of apps and services.

concerns I have over the current text:

  • it is too long
  • it makes assumptions about what it can be and suggests it it does (uncertainty)
  • it is arbitrarily specific (eg. calendar & living room)
  • it is playing down technical issues (reachability from the outside net isn't a problem we solve), plugin in does not work
