I got a start on these:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_22_talking_points#Fedora_Workstation

However, I think we could use more information that sums up some of
the under-the-hood work but focuses on the benefit to the *user*.

This gets back to a point I was making in IRC the other day, that we
need a better high-level story for F23 under which work is aligned.
New incremental improvements are great and highly commendable.  A new
GNOME release always has lots of great stuff in it.

But what's our goal for the larger developer story?  How do we give a
developer a one-stop solution where they can fork a project, create
code, build, test(?), package (if desired), publish to community,
maybe deploy?  That problem won't be solved by e.g. repos or a better
upgrade capability.
