Public bug reported:

Right now the main introduction text reads as follows:
> Harvest makes it easy to find low-hanging opportunities
> in Ubuntu. It aggregates the mass of todo lists we use
> every day so it's simple to find and coordinate work.

It's important that we keep this short, but right now it tries to maintain the very cool, very friendly low-hanging fruit metaphor but it only does it in a technical way. The warm excitement of the idea is lost; we just, technically, use half of the words from it.
Instead of being simple and self-explanatory, the first sentence seems to amble a lot and spends too many words explaining itself. In short, this could be a lot snappier and more exciting while still making sense :)

Daniel's suggestion:
