I would very much agree with this POV.

Although it does not need to be just focussed on internet use: One of
the tools requested could be a way to convert Wiki to a printable
form. TOSW is one of the projects which would like to have an easy way
to create PDF-like material from the wiki content.

but I think providing community tools for Fedora are also important to
drive a Web-centric view towards Fedora. Around this we can create
other stuff...

What about having Fedora web tools on your Web-enabled TV? Which might
in the future run the MeeGo TV UX on your Fedora distro ;-)
