The Alpha/Beta release notes (single wiki page) are a subset of the
SingleSourceSummary.

FWIW, Paul may also understand it, so we have being-hit-by-a-bus
protection.
Does this explanation work? ::
Problem -- multiple summaries (relnotes, press releases, wiki pages,
announcements, blog entries, articles) being written for a given release
(Alpha, Beta, RC, Gold), all repeating work; no clear place to go for a
good _summary_ of a given release.
Solution -- one single page that contains all the _potential_ content
(source) for any one of the given target summaries. Call this the
SingleSourceSummary (SSS).
What the SSS is not --
It is not a page meant to be read of itself: two sections may
contain nearly identical content but be written in two styles,
such as "Big and happy!" and "Terse and descriptive".
It does not require a consistent writing style for sections:
see above examples
Stable: expect it to change constantly; don't use it with an
Include() macro but copy/fork
What the SSS is --
A resource for *anyone* writing about a given Fedora release
A collaboration amongst various parts of Fedora -- Marketing,
Docs, Rel Eng, etc.
