Hi Stephen,

So - excellent timing, and we definitely appreciate the heads-up on
this, btw - we're in the middle of working on Feature Profiles for the
F13 release.  It's basically an interview - we do them on irc, via
email, or in podcast form - where we talk to the developer(s) about a
specific feature, how it's used, how it was developed in the
community, etc.

To see some examples from F12, you can check them out here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_feature_profiles

Is this something you'd be interested in doing? Someone from the
marketing team can write up some interview questions and work with you
and/or Simo on getting out some good content, and we can definitely
highlight how it is first and foremost, as you said, a Fedora project.
