Take a look at the feature list. I think I can classify the following things as being for "normal" users: * Improved mobile broadband support (incremental changes, but nice, I suppose) Well, that's it. Anaconda improvements are incremental and not an overhaul, mostly focused on enabling advanced/more complex options. We have a handful of desktops with nothing earth-shaking enough in terms of changes to highlight individually, other than in a section dedicated to Spins/Desktops, where we've commonly detailed those items. There's obviously options around *explaining* in the course of the announcement/talking points / etc that "fedora can be for everyone" - but I think it's fairly difficult to say, "Hey! look at all the new shiny things we have for $generaluser" when ... well, there aren't a lot of shiny new things. My intent was really around use cases and not identities - perhaps those sections above could really be longer descriptions of a story/use case - "Improved management and monitoring capabilities," "Efficient tooling to enable rapid boot time and system recovery," etc? -r > > > -- > nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com > > > -- > marketing mailing list > marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
