"Everyone in the world" (!= "Every experienced Linux user in the world") therefore needs to see more general-purpose information at the start of the tour to increase willingness to spend time using, and hopefully contributing to, Fedora. Project information for current contributors easily accessible, but marketing front and center. I hear people talking about "Wiki everywhere," about which I have minor trepidation, mainly due to the inability of some incredibly competent technical people to write well. As long as general audiences see a polished face on the "landing ramp" or other entry point, and get their "what? why? how?" questions answered without a lot of link hopping, I'm satisfied (for whatever that's worth). The Docs team should stand ready to help Marketing with this to whatever extent necessary or desired. -- Paul W.
