Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the feedback.
1) As for steam. It is in there as it is something we expect to get resolved through the
3rd party software solution. If that part falls through I guess we can edit it out, but if
we manage to resolve the 3rd party issue in a positive manner then I don't think it is
to much of a stretch to assume a lot of CS students like to play some games on their
system from time to time.
2) Once we have it up on the wiki I will take another look at this paragraph and revise it
again. Maybe also you and Josh who are native English speakers could help me nail it
down.
3) Correct, lets edit that too once we have the wiki in place
4) Yeah, or we turn the Software installer into a browser app ;)

Good question. I'll just say:
22:00 UTC Jan 21 2014.
So, I've been reading through the PRD in my FESCo capacity (presuming
that this draft is what is being submitted for approval at tomorrow's
meeting).
Concerns:
* Target Audience 1: Student
* While I certainly would hope that we can support Steam (I assume
that's the stealth requirement there), it seems like a divergence
from the rest of the targets. If this is something the product
wants to focus on, I suspect it should be a separate Target
Audience: Video Game Players.
* To me, a student target should really imply a closely-integrated
development environment (particularly built around a set of
common and simple tools, such as Eclipse and DevAssistant).
* Other Users:
* I'd make it clear that this is a non-exhaustive list of things that
are not being directly targeted (though as noted they will benefit
indirectly. Right now it almost reads to me as "We almost forgot to
mention this stuff, but it's a priority too!" I realize this is a
bit of a flame-war in the discussions, but if you try to be
everything for everyone, you'll be stuck in the same limbo that
Fedora is in today.
* Robust Upgrades:
* I suspect this is a phrasing problem, but this doesn't read
properly to me. Upgrades should be the same as an original install?
I suspect what is meant here is something along the lines of: "If I
install with the updates repo enabled, my system should be no
different than if I installed from the initial release and ran 'yum
update' (except for user data).
* 3rd Party Software:
* If this can be worked out with the Fedora Advisory Board and the
lawyers, great. My +1 to this segment is contingent on that.
