Well, if our mission (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview#Our_Mission)
is:
Striving to lead not follow.
Seeks to create, improve, and spread free/libre code and content
Succeed through shared action on the part of the community.
All of that stuff, to me, sounds like things my wife has no interest in
but stuff experienced users would be very interested in. With those
experienced users I'd expect we can accomplish each of those mission
goals.
Inexperienced users would seem to distract us from those mission goals.
