Purpose of snapshots and calligra-suite.org, subjective look

[Cyrille Berger Skott]

calligra-suite.org is definitely aimed at users.

However, currently we don't have much to offer them. So our message is aimed at 
people who are currently visiting the website: ie power users, KDE advanded 
users and developers. Gradually, when our releases become usuable by "normal" 
users, our message is going to shift to be more targeted at them.

Similary, the snapshot is not meant for ordinary users, but for people who 
understand what they get.
