[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

The present "What is Mozilla?" text seems, to an end user, to be a collection of
buzzwords, with little useful information - it doesn't really answer the question.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit http://mozilla.org
2.Read "What is Mozilla?"


Actual Results:  
The Mozilla project maintains choice and innovation on the Internet by
developing the acclaimed, open source, Mozilla 1.6 web and email suite and
related products and technology.

Expected Results:  
something like:
Mozilla is an ongoing project to produce the best internet software around. It
is free and open source, so anyone with the right skills can contribute. Mozilla
is also the name of our acclaimed application suite, which includes a web
browser and an email client.

OpenOffice.org:
"OpenOffice.org is both an open-source application and project. It is free. The
product is a multi-platform office productivity suite compatible with all major
file formats."

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
