Description
I was going through this page in the conda-forge documentation.
https://conda-forge.org/docs/user/introduction.html
The opening goes like this:
What is conda-forge?
conda-forge is a community effort that provides conda packages for a wide range of software.
Now, although conda-forge is a community effort, that alone cannot be its definition. It's just a quality.
"What is conda-forge?" should not be followed by "it's a community effort".
But instead a proper, concise, consistent definition that we use across all our pages of documentation, or infact, on all our pages across the web.
Again, the 'about' page has a different description/definition which, although better than 'conda-forge is a community effort', is too wordy and confusing.
https://conda-forge.org/#about
What's the one line answer we give when someone asks us, "What's conda-forge, btw?"
"oh, conda-forge is a tool that lets you install all packages from a single channel" or whatever.
I think, it is time we mutually decide upon a definition that's descriptive and at the same time concise and use this definition across our web presence.
@viniciusdc , I'd like to know your views on this.
