I had a look through the logs on meme.b9.com for the past few days and 
didn't really see much in the way of criticism.  However, a "Why 
Carbon" section on the project page could be useful.  Hopefully anyone 
interested in Carbon over Cocoa will already have some good reasons 
though.  If you can think up some specific wording, that would be 
great.  I don't have any ideas right now.  I'm thinking more about the 
architecture than the advocacy ;-)
