  • Offer a simple interface with the GNOME community for feedback and support
  • Provide communication channels and tools to all the profiles involved in the GNOME community
  • Satisfy current ISDs, public sector and hobbyists using GNOME
  • Attract new users and developers, primarly from the targets mentioned above
