(Get the code!)
I realize it's a little late when the decision is already made, but ...
The "Focusing on the product" excuse is lame.
With a name like "Ubuntu", community is part and parcel of the "product". Leaving that defining component out of the "product description" is flying in the face of the name of the product and the meaning of the very word itself.
"Three clicks and out". If it takes more than three clicks to find something, most people will move on -- especially if they have to figure out the path of those three clicks by searching all over a page. If someone who is exploring Ubuntu doesn't see "Community" prominently displayed, they'll go to Fedora. Look at fedoraproject.org where "Community" is prominently displayed in the top menu. The page it leads to is simple: Links to the various community activities. The content is simple.
Fedora is going to out-compete Ubuntu in "Community". Strange, when Canonical delivers a product called "Ubuntu".
It's madness.
