At the risk of being tiresome, I'd like to reiterate that content
creation and consumption are not exclusive to non-developers.  As has
been said many times, "developers are people too," and they engage in
many of the same activities as non-developers.  The Workstation team
is not focusing exclusively on these common activities, but you can't
have an effective Workstation without them.
