Can we use something more visually appealing than a small blue dot. 
Perhaps the Fedora logo itself would be more appropriate? Also the title 
there should probably be "Counting Fedora Desktop Users". Tracking seems 
to imply a more continuous activity rather than effectively a one time 
hit counter.

The sentence "Don't worry about multiple counts, shared IP addresses, 
and so forth" implies that multiple counts would be distort data while 
it would not. We just need to uniquely sort it by IP addresses.

The last sentence about funding seems to add to the confusion rather 
than help clarify it. I would advise dropping that. Maybe we should add 
a sentence last that says "If you are not online and do not wish to be 
counted, you can simply change this homepage".
