I read OSnews regularly, but I haven't the faintest idea and reading the linked blog entry didn't help much, either (though I guess I could have looked around on the site to find out what it is about).

I have always assumed a certain degree of autonomy from our readers, and so fa, that's been working out just fine. A silly one-line condescending description is useless - it's always better to just read about it yourself.

You know, the kind there already are 5 billion of.
Not really sure why it's newsworthy though, it's not like we see news items for other javascript frameworks. Maybe it's because it was on the Touchpad?

Yeah, I agree that it usually is obvious. Just today I also haven't been sure about it. Still, mentioning something like "javascript" would have made it way more clear to me.

Sorry, but I just can't wish any success to anyone with such failed communication style.

You probably don't feel that need when your decision to post some news has already been made, but for many readers it could as well be ~"wait, Enyo, what was it again?" - especially considering niche projects.

Sneaking in ~"Enyo, the js framework offshot of WebOS" doesn't seem condescending, and would immediately put it in its cognitive sphere of sorts.

According to their blog, they are aiming for a 1.0 release in September that is going to be more easily portable to a wide range of hardware.
