Before we embark on Yet Another Wiki Page, I wanted to get some consensus on whether we need an additional [[Fedora 12 Tour]] page. Currently we have a (soon to be) screenshot-filled one-page release notes page that is supposed to serve the function of introducing novices to all the great features of release, and the basics of Fedora in general and Fedora 12.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes
The new document includes pretty much everything I see in the old [[Fedora 11 tour]] page, including links to the in-depth feature profiles, overview, talking points, and so forth.
It seems to me an additional tour page is unnecessary. I just want to voice my opinion, and if there's general agreement, we can knock that off the release deliverables page in favor of the new standard of a meaningful one-page release notes document.

FWIW I love it. Let's fill it with screenshots and just consider it the tour.

+1. Scrapped "tour page" from release deliverables list.

Taking a quick tour through the rest to check on status, will post to list in a moment. I think we're almost there.

Thanks, Chitlesh!
I uploaded it to the wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:FEL-f12-screenshot.png and added it in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes#Desktop_User... - now if we could only get a picture of someone soldering or tinkering with a robot to go next to it...

So I've been trying to take a screenshot for this in the release notes:
"Fedora includes Empathy, an instant messenger that supports chat, video, and audio."
I spent a couple hours trying to get video to work. No dice:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533542 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601039
If video chat in Empathy doesn't work maybe we shouldn't be advertising it... I'd be happy to take a screenshot of ekiga instead...

Some more ideas for the tour too, but I don't know if they are official features or not and thus would make the tour too long?
- Technology preview: GNOME Shell
- Totem has some new really awesome features such as playlist sharing and a BBC video viewing plugin (although on both counts I did not have much success getting them to work :( )
- Tablet support gets better with each Fedora release. It might be cool to point out that (1) no xorg.conf is needed for pressure sensitive wacom tablets, they work out of the box (2) xournal is a virtual notebook great for tablets and even without tablets (3) cellwriter is a handwriting recognition application that works great (4) inkscape and gimp of course rock with a tablet

I noticed a significant improvement of drawing in Gimp. The lag that was present on Fedora 11 is gone.

If you feel that we advertise anything that is not a "top quality" or a "cut-edge" technologically, it is better to replace it with something else, anything that you consider as a new "Desktop user" application can replace Empathy. Also as a note, we need to create and freeze a central moto (that has to replace or be included in the first lines ). I will include the nick '*Constantine' * in the page so we have an additional keyword for the engines.

OK, Sorry I just have a few days that I jumped in. Unite it is then. Still: apart of the Virtualization and Empathy can we promote the usage of F12 for Net-tops and Embedded systems? If so please include a URL for further reading.

So I added a section on tablet support. Hope it's okay. Sad to say none of the apps mentioned (gimp, inkscape, cellwriter, xournal) are installed by default - does that mean we can't use the material?
I also added a photo for bluetooth headset support.

Just lack of space. I am creating a remix that targets USB keys instead and it will have all the usual apps.

Wise decision, not that pose is bad but can trigger some reactions. Like Rahul said, more smile please. ^_^

I don't think that we have to be limited to just what's installed by default when we talk about the things that Fedora offers. After all, that enables us to talk about virtualization and hardware enablements.

When I read this thread I had a small idea - it would be cool if we had some sort of rotating banner / box / something with a photo of a person and the "I use Fedora 12 for X" or "What I like most about F12 is Y"... with their name and what they do. For example, mine might say something like, "My kids use Fedora 12 for online preschool games" -Robyn, a mom!
...just to show the diversity of what Fedora offers to a variety of people. Let users upload a photo and a statement and give them a chance to see themselves on the front page or something.
Anyway, just, you know, coming up with my usual random ideas :) All the stuff we say Fedora 12 can do is fine and dandy, but it's awesome to hear about practical use cases from actual end users, with actual faces.

And yes, we can put this in the brainbucket for F13 planning, or maybe do it after F12 has been out a while and people are actually saying what they use it for. :)

Absolutely, I think it's a fantastic idea. Paul and I had mocked up something similar for the www.fpo redesign (slated for F13) a while back. Check it out (the 'I use Fedora block towards the bottom):

I forgot to note I took a screenshot of the desktop and blinged it. Nicu noted the screenshot in the F12 www.fpo front page banner design is too plain, so I plan on replacing that one with the base (unblinged) screenshot from the blinged up screenshot I did for the release notes:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:F12-relnotes-screenshot-main.png
Note that in comparison to other distributions screenshots *ahem*, this screenshot shows non-proprietary / openly-licensed entertainment being enjoyed. :) It does not show proprietary / closed source / non-open content such as Twitter or Britney Spears or whatever.
- free & open source identi.ca is shown in empathy - Jabber is used as the protocol in the sample cat - GNote (no mono) is shown as the note-taking app - Wikipedia is being browsed - Rhythmbox is playing Dan Masquelier's album 'Wake Up' which is a CC-licensed album. All the other artists shown in the shot have CC-licensed albums as well. - and of course the wallpaper and the background behind the wallpaper and the actual composition were produced using the free tools in Fedora itself (Gimp and Inkscape) - should go without saying but it's still important.
