I think you are presuming a bias toward GNOME, vs. the real situation --
a limit in scope to get this first-time document available.

The scope can grow as the people committed to actually writing for it
grows.  Sorry if that seems like we are marginalizing KDE.  I've heard
discussions about adding KDE-focused content to make the FDUG more
balanced.

Myself, I'd prefer us to get a small set of items done very well, then
grow it.  Every day.
