Hello All,
In anticipation of the alpha release, I put together a talking points page highlighting some of the new stuff we should be seeing in F11. Please take a look and also play around if you like!

Thanks, Jack

Who is the audience for this? Currently, there is way too many technical details.

And there are too many points; this looks more like a restatement of the feature list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList
Really there should only be a small number of talking points, because we want to build a coherent, interesting story from the end-user side for specific important features.
Here are the features I believe are good candidates for this treatment for Alpha and beyond. Obviously as we move forward it's still possible another feature might emerge as a major talking point; feature cutoff doesn't happen for quite some time yet for F11.
Users: * New volume control * maybe Presto/deltaRPMs if that's actually going to happen for F11 * Fingerprint scanning
Developers: * MinGW Windows cross-compiler
Sysadmins: * ext4 file system
Community: * Moksha and live web app framework
Building a story around each of these features won't be too difficult, because they're all compelling, easy for Fedora people to talk about, and easy for journalists to understand and write about.

Yes, this was the first draft, thanks for the feedback. I'm going to update it throughout the day today. Also, if anyone else feels like we should add or change something please send more feedback or edit the page!

Yes, but before I do that, I need to understand the audience for it. The current page might work just fine for some group of people.

The talking points audience is journalists and the people who will be reading their articles through the media, as well as casually interested sysadmins and developers. By "casually interested," I mean people who are unlikely to follow upstream development or dig much deeper than the information we present. That information should be concise, positive in tone, and clearly indicate what the expected effect is on the Fedora end-user.
