NURRRRRR. BZZZZZT. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
If an engineer happens to take time out of their busy lives, and time
away from doing awesome feature work for Fedora 9, then consider it a
bonus. Expecting this from any engineer is just insane.
If engineers start blogging(more) it would definitely be a big bonus to
the community. But expecting them to do so is really not insane.
I completely disagree. Other distributions have done a fairly good job
in marketing themselves via developers and it is critically important
to their successes. The community can't create the buzz for them if
they don't know such features exist in the first place which is
frequently the case with Fedora.
Kickstart the effort initially and others can pick it up once they
realize that the features exist and what benefits it brings. Feature
process is one way to do it. Blogging is another. We have big gaps in
either. I am happy to hear other ideas to improve the situation though.

Some engineers might need the extra push. Engineers who are already
blogging can probably consider writing more about features. This will
sure help others learn more about the features. Digging out the
developers' views might add a different dimension altogether.
Just my two cents.
