I saw a couple places where spin owners might want to build up some content to help promote their spins:
The Marketing team has a section on the talking points page for new Spins. In some places there are missing links or more information is needed about particular spins.

The spins.fedoraproject.org web content doesn't yet reflect the current spin content in the "master" branch. I believe the Security spin has already been added, but the other new spins don't have any content in the fedora-web repo's folder for spins.fp.o. If you need help understanding or creating that content, you can consult the websites@ list or come by #fedora-websites on IRC Freenode.
The missing spins right now look to be Design Suite, Moblin(TM), and Sugar on a Stick. Howver, I'm not sure whether or how the Moblin spin is affected by the MeeGo merger, nor whether SoaS was intended to be offered via spins.fp.o. In the latter case it seems like we should at least have a page with links to a canonical download area, if we're not offering it ourselves.
Let me know if any of this stuff is underway and I just missed it, or if there's specific information or help you need from another team, just say so.
I wanted to thank the spin owners who have spent some time beefing up these pages -- and also Mel Chua, Michelle Kim, and a number of other folks who have created banners, text, and templates for these spins.
It seems to me that we could improve our process for getting these done if we tracked spin sites in our schedule somehow. That doesn't guarantee that other teams will automatically provide people-power for making the necessary content, but it would at least give the spin owners and SIG a way to know when they need to more urgently ask for help, before the eleventh hour. Would this be helpful?
