First of all, sorry for the Wall'o'text.

Secondly, try to read it, I meant every bit of it.

I am astounded. The only reason I registered was just to see what litestep even is... and after registering, I have come to the conclusion that *you* don't even know. The only mention of litestep I have ever heard of was due to my leanings towards linux, and while (from what I can piece together) litestep looks like it might have been a cool thing, once upon a time, there's NO INFO AVAILABLE ON IT. Requiring users to register before they even know what they're looking at is stupid. How many thousands of potentially useful users have you turned away because they don't want to give away their email address to some unknown entity? You need more info on the front page, you need to give people an idea of what you have, you need to generate INTEREST. If your product is locked up in this little box, no one will see it. It's no wonder the first entry I saw on the forums linked to on your news page was "Why is litestep DYING?!?" I have an answer for you... NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. Even the wiki is stupendously uninformative. The text under "What is litestep?" doesn't tell me what it is. What the heck is AfterSTEP? What does litestep DO? All I got from the wiki was a vague idea that it might be something to do with a desktop enhancement... and that it's some sort of big, ponderous coding project.

This was meant as a constructive criticism.

I am not arguing against registration, but you need more info on your front door, or no one will knock.
