Show it to me. Can we ratchet down the rhetoric a bit? Thank you. Our talking points genearlly list splits between "Desktop users/Everyone" and other groups such as "Sysadmins" and "Developers." The latter groups have included things like virt improvements, NetBeans, SystemTap, MinGW, and Moksha in F13 and previous releases. None of those are found on the Desktop spin. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points_for_F10 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_Talking_Points https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_talking_points https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_talking_points The "Desktop users/Everyone" list of talking points usually includes a list of innovative features for better desktop productivity and experience. They're found in the Desktop spin because the people in the Desktop SIG create a lot of that code from scratch. As someone who participates in marketing activities I've spent a substantial amount of times promoting not only specific new spins when they premiere in Fedora, but also the idea of remixability in general. Not everyone apparently agrees with that strategy at this point, but please Christoph, I ask that you not point fingers at other teams in Fedora. It's counterproductive and not in the spirit of our community. -- Paul W.
