 ==Why?==
-The mobile ecosystem is in danger of becoming a set of completely walled gardens. The two biggest OSs in mobile right now are ''iOS'' and ''Android'', neither of which is really “open” in any sense of the word. ''Firefox OS'' is meant to stand against these and bring the web and web technologies to mobile, but so far, it hasn’t captured the hearts of developers.
+As mobile platforms move closer to a strict "walled garden" ecosystem, ''Firefox OS'' strives to stand against this trend by bringing the open web to mobile, however it has yet to capture the hearts of developers./
 There are several key advantages to the web. It is portable and standards-driven, thus it can run anywhere with the same experience. It is ubiquitous, thus there are many websites that already work on it, and almost every organization has a web presence already. It is open, thus anyone can publish to it.
-What is lacking in ''Firefox OS'' is leveraging of these advantages. Developer tools for ''Firefox OS'' and web apps in general leave much to be desired, which have contributed to a generally weak ecosystem.
+Currently ''Firefox OS'' is missing tools to fully leverage these advantages. Developer tools for ''Firefox OS'' and web apps in general leave much to be desired, and impact the overall quality of the web ecosystem, so it is vital we make steps to change this.
