New users confused about Spins' Names

Hi list,

Yesterday, I posted a blog entry[1] about Fedora 10 Release on my blog and mentioned the Fedora 10 Spins availability with link to Fedora Project page[2]. I have received a comment[3] which says,

"I might be interested in some of the spins, but it's hard to tell. The names contain acronyms, and the description simply repeats the acronym. Unless I recognize what that acronym is, the name is useless. What's FEL, AOS or broffice? XFCE is the only one I know, though others might not even know that.

Since the table has a description field for each spin, why not (at least) expand the acronyms so folks have a clue as to whether or not it might be useful? Even better, a link to a page describing the spin in more detail. If it's worth the time and effort to create, it should be worth the time it takes to write a paragraph describing it."

Well, I also got confused by the acronyms, but quick googling suggested the Fedora Project Wiki already has pages describing the acronyms in details. I request people maintaining the spins to link the description to their respective wiki pages.
