Hi everyone,
Attached is the draft PRD for the Workstation working group. The
proposal tries to be relatively high level and focus on goals and
principles, but I have included some concrete examples at times to try
to provide some clarity on how the goals and principles could play out
in practice.
I hope the community at large will take the time to read through it and
provide feedback so that when the working group meet next we can use
that feedback to start tuning in on the final form of the PRD.
Also in the name of openness, before I sent this here, I showed the PRD
draft to key stakeholders and decision makers inside Red Hat, to ensure
that we have the necessary support for these plans to get the kind of
engineering resources allocated from Red Hat we will need to pull this
off.
Something that doesn't seem specified here is any sort of a design style or
guide for how apps used in the Workstation should generally be built and
function. Is there intended to be that sort of standard?

The opening sentence is great, it provides a concise statement of
intent:
"The Fedora Workstation working group aims to create a reliable,
user-friendly and powerful operating system for laptops and PC
hardware."
All the plans and goals under this should have a clear defined goal of
how it contributes back to the main statement of intent.
However, should the document also define what some of the terms in that
statement actually mean? How do we define "reliable", "user-friendly"
and "powerful" (and even "laptops" and "PC hardware") in relation to
the Fedora Workstation.
