There used to be video tours of Gnome, KDE ???? Can this be linked to
the marketing group for showing the new Gnome, KDE?

Lacks pictures seems very bland.  I haven't used KDE for a long time is
there a way to spice it up???

Don't think static ip's can be done 'easily' with the new
networkmanager.  Lots of discussion on devel if I remember correctly.

Big job but mostly for me it works out of the box so I'm not sure what
to achieve here?

No content needs content since I use it a fair bit.

New F8 features.  Is there a feature list available from the packager
