Hi!
First, I didn't comment before, but I'd like to say I really like this
document. I find myself refering to it whenever someone asks me "Why
Tails ?", especially non-technical people.

I think it's much better, though I'm not completely sure about
"impartial/political": it's better with political than ideological, and
I'm fine with it, but i'm not sure of the opposition between the terms.
Maybe "radical" could work, too ? Or even "opinionated" ? Though this
last term is usually used with negative connotation. Really not sure
here, thinking out loud.
About the sliders themselves, and that's actually what triggered this
message, They made me think of progress bars, so left is "empty" and
right is "full", when the intent is more a "scale" (say, from -100 to
+100 with 0 being the perfect middle ground).
I'm not sure how to convey that visually, but having the left part full
and the right part empty didn't feel right for me when I first saw it,
it puts emphasis on the right part.
This feeling is mostly gone now I've spent a while re-reading the
document and looking at the sliders, though.
Maybe not using a solid color, or not using grey for the right part
would help, or having a middle point materialized to avoid the "progress
bar effect" ?
Thanks again for working on this!
Cheers,
