docs:
  prettyName: Documentation
  desc: |
    I'm working to improve documentation for GNU/Linux, but more than
    that I'm working to improve the forms of documentation that more
    skilled technical writers might be afraid or incapable of working
    on: `--help` text, generated documentation, and auditing
    documentation against the source code to make sure that it is
    accurate and complete.
ARM:
  prettyName: ARM support
  desc: |
    Not that folks can't use GNU/Linux on ARM (obviously, the
    Raspberry Pi has been a huge success), but there's still a lot
    more friction to using GNU/Linux on ARM compared to x86.  I'm
    working on that.
GI:
  prettyName: GObject Introspection
  desc: |
    GObject Introspection (which is a terrible name for what it is,
    btw) is a cross-(language-runtime) object system.  GObject was an
    object system for C that game out of GTK+, and then GObject
    Introspection was created as a way to specify the ABI for working
    with an object, so that GObjects could be used from other
    languages.  I think that GObject Introspection is a really cool
    technology that can be the basis of reducing friction between
    languages, but it needs better/more-ubiquitous tooling.
