OK, but actually I'll do it as a member of the Fedora marketing
project/group, since I think it really lands in that camp.

Aside from the Installation Guide, what else do we want to highlight
about the release?

I've Cc:'d f-marketing-l to get some more input on what to include.

Let's see:

- newer/better/faster/more
- OpenOffice 2.0 pre
- GNOME 2.10
- KDE 3.4
- Eclipse & the java stack, in all its huge glory
- Extras by default at release time
- PPC now included, for your now antique macs (ok, leave off that last part)

That's the big highlights off the top of my head.

Some of the following might be worth mentioning also:

GCC 4
FORTIFY_SOURCE and the other security enhancements
Xen
NetworkManager

Just part of Gnome 2.10, but since it's such a visible change, maybe 
mention the new default theme.
