Why not make the Fedora Musician's Guide a wiki like project that
people with some free time could contribute with they know best? There
is already the FLOSS manual for Ardour and PureData that has already
done some work in this direction. And it is nice because you can make
a snapshot of the wiki and print a PDF from the website.

I tend to agree, just wanted to reiterate my offer from another place
in this thread. If there were enough interest to do 'Planet CCRMA
Audio Workstation, a Fedora Remix'[1], I and people like me would burn
and carry around copies. Especially if it were able to run as a live
Linux from a CD, DVD, or USB thumb drive, I would give copies to all
my musician and audio friends to boot to and try out.
It's the difference between, "Already-committed so I am going to install
and enable a repo," and "I don't know that Linux can work for me as a
musician/producer/podcaster/etc." I talk with far more of the latter
at FOSS events, etc.
I can't guarantee numbers, but I'm sure if you had an audio remix
available that people knew about, the Fedora Ambassadors around the
globe would start handing them out for the same reasons I said above.
