Well, the quicktoots site is not about being serious. It's about giving
people who are not serious users an idea about the possibilities
available to them. It's meant to be the complete antithesis of "Linux"
greater than thou, high brow, wankerism and if you really want to get
into it is aimed directly at "young" windows users who might be
interested in learning about Linux Audio. Now if I was aiming it as mac
users then I would not even go near an animated logo.

An animated logo is simply another way to display movement, action and
the concept of multimedia. If you look at the rest of the content there
it is trying to provide a lot of visual context and we even have a
couple of videos now.

I would expect that the majority of people round here wouldn't even need
to read a quicktoot most of us are more than capable of figuring out how
to do things on our own.

But feel free to hate. It seems to be a bit of a theme these days anyway...
