Ok, following on from Leigh's advice, shall we try and flesh out what would go under some of these points? > We need a few things: > o Fedora Fast Facts: data that would be interesting to someone writing > an article: > o History * Fedora project founded in 2003 when Red Hat merged their open development process with the pre-existing Fedora Linux project. Official announcement here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00064.html * First general release of Fedora Core 5th November 2003. * Merger of Core and Extras in 2008. *...urm any more history than this seems difficult to come by!? When did the Board come along? > o Differentiating points * Focus on upstream * Focus on free software * Hosted * People * Open build systems + spins ** Another section should really spell out what Fedora's goals are I think. Target audience perhaps (Controversial subject I know) and our primary goals and values as they provide a lot of insight into why certain decisions are made. > o Features/Functions > o Instructions for 'laypress' to download with most ease > o Reviewers' Guide. This tells the press what exactly to look for, > what we want to emphasize most (esp. what's differentiating from other > distros, etc). > o Screenshots. These last four are covered by the release summary are they not!? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/ReleaseSummary Obviously this all changes from release to release. Only thing I'm not sure about in the current release summary is the long list of links at the beginning - makes it look uglier and harder to access the main content - in my opinion. Maybe if we include this info in a press kit it could either a) be tidied up or b) only the essential information about features etc. Also, in this section I don't think it would hurt to emphasise where Fedora is the first distribution to do something - I think we did this with Pulse Audio in the last release quite well :) Thoughts and ideas!?
