message: An SVG of the freedesktop logo can be found in Keith Packard's directory on http://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/freedesktop/ . Unfortunately I was unable to find the logo's usage guidelines and it is unclear which version is the official logo... -- 81.96.206.228 07:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

message: IMHO it is important to be accurate in the articles of Wikipedia.  In this one, we read "The organisation (sic) focuses on the user".  If one has actually visited the site it becomes immediately clear that this is one of the most user-unfriendly places to be.  Worse yet, their products are odd and poorly documented, and have caused huge numbers of problems.
Take policykit for instance.  It screws up the access to daily tasks and programs for millions of people around the world, and yet it has no interface and no documentation which the layperson can use.  I don't think that any of this supports the supposition stated.
Further, the article doesn't give the necessary background info.  For instance, I noticed that their home page mentioned PSU.  I am not sure what that is, but perhaps it represents another organizational association which is not defined.  Too little is explained about this group. - KitchM (talk) 14:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

message: FDO redirects immediately to Freedesktop.org, without a disambiguation page.
FDO can also refer to a software compilation strategy called feedback-directed optimization. (qv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler_optimization).
There is already a page for a related technique called PGO.

message: As with other images on numerous other articles, the editor that created and added the images in question to the article has added the images to articles which have little if anything to do with the article's subject and do nothing to enhance a reader's understanding. That the Linux API is composed of, among other things, libevdev, (1) does not enhance a reader's understanding of the freedesktop.org project, and even if it did, that's conveyed by the text below the image, the image itself doesn't aid in that. Similarly, how does this image aid in the understanding of the freedesktop.org project? It doesn't. That's why I have reverted the images, because there may be articles where they do belong, but this article is not one of them. - Aoidh (talk) 21:07, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
