Thanks to awesomepaul's reminder, here's text for the Beta release announcement, cues taken from F12's Beta announcement and F13's Alpha announcement; feel free to tear it/me apart :)

......................

== Fedora 13 Beta Release Announcement ==

The Fedora 13 "Goddard" Beta release is available! What's next for the free operating system that shows off the best new technology of tomorrow? You can see the future now at:

[http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease]

== What is the Beta Release? ==

The beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 13. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading up to the general release of Fedora 13, scheduled to be released in the middle of May. We invite you to join us and participate in making Fedora 13 a solid release by downloading, testing, and providing your valuable feedback.

Of course, this is a beta release, some problems may still be lurking. Should you trip across one of them, be sure it gets fixed before release by reporting your discovery at:

[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/]

Thank you!
