I know that F7 is still a short time away, but perhaps we can start now to prepare a truly powerful message. My current thinking is that we should solicit questions from our end-users pertaining to both the Fedora Project's current status and the F7 release, perhaps from fedora-list, and compile a list of high-quality answers. This idea is inspired by Max's Slashdot interview. I think we should then publish that document about a week before the final release - almost as a bit of a teaser. It could also be included in our release summary or other release documentation on the wiki. I'm sure there will be a large number of questions that arise from the changes since FC6, especially with the Core+Extras merger and new spins. Does anyone here think they could gather such questions? -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
