Sensible. I know that F7 is still a short time away, but perhaps we can start
now to prepare a truly powerful message. My current thinking is that we
should solicit questions from our end-users pertaining to both the Fedora
Project's current status and the F7 release, perhaps from fedora-list, and
compile a list of high-quality answers. This idea is inspired by Max's
Slashdot interview. I think we should then publish that document about a
week before the final release - almost as a bit of a teaser. It could also
be included in our release summary or other release documentation on the
wiki. I'm sure there will be a large number of questions that arise from the
changes since FC6, especially with the Core+Extras merger and new spins.
Does anyone here think they could gather such questions?
