I don't know if we talked at all about this in the marketing meeting,
but: Do we want to be more specific about encouraging ONLY wiki
postings of additional talking points, or also allow postings to the
fedora-mktg mailing list?

It's not really specified in the SOP (at least that I can find in a
fairly quick glance). If we want to head off the world's longest email
thread, should we specify not emailing the list?
