I just tried out fedora 22 live to see what had changed since 10. What 
has always seemed lacking is a simple list of what is "in the box", and 
a "how do I" list for common tasks. This helps both the newbie and linux 
user who has changed distros. Change lists are only useful if you track 
every release. As an idea, start with a list of installed packages, keep 
only end-user stuff, add a use category field to sort by, and show the 
summary info string and how to launch it (desktop, terminal). Post this 
right on the desktop and at the top of the wiki. Why should it take more 
than a few seconds to answer common use questions? Example: what disk 
imaging tool is included and how do I find and use it? Likewise with 
browser, email, office apps, backup, music.
