That's a big template you've got there. Bigger than some of the articles it's include in :-) -maybe, I'm just guessing. A smaller version would be better, IMO. Gronky 03:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I have been bold and edited this template down in a manner different then I proposed above. Note that the article GNU Compiler Collection had already deleted this template due to it's bloat (see the Page History) (I restored it). I noted that there was a one-to-one correspondence between the first version of this template and List of GNU packages, which is incomplete, and misses some of the significant packages, e.g. Ghostscript.
What I did:
The template as it is now, is designed as a navigation aid to the most significant articles about the GNU Project, instead of exhaustive, yet incomplete, lists of both GNU software and GNU people (as well as the most significant articles about the GNU Project). Lentower 04:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The box was still very big, and the people listed as GNU's developers, documenters, and advocates were haphazard and misleading. So I removed the developers entry because (1) GNU, strangely, hasn't made any (or many) high profile programmers, and (2) the people listed, and those left out, showed a complete lack of criteria. I also removed the documenters entry, for the same two reasons plus the third reason that there were only two people there, plus a red link, plus a link to a section of the FSF article which is not relevent. And for the "speakers and advocates" section, I replaced the arbitrary list with the list of official GNU speakers. There are still some articles that this box is included in where the article is shorter than the box, but the number will now be very few. Gronky 22:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Adequate evening! Information describing my work is actually completed, proceed to withdraw implementation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.94.42.10 ( talk) 09:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
I replaced the original docu with Template:Linux kernel/doc, I hope you ge the point. User:ScotXW t@lk 20:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Add GNU social to the template? I don't know if it's an active project or not. -- HLachman ( talk) 03:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
