Fedora 12 Talking Points

[Peter Robinson]

Hi All,

Firstly sorry for screwing up the threading, I've not prev been on
fedora-marketing list but someone pointed me to the thread but as the
Moblin Maintainer I figured it was worth jumping in!

It is basically complete as per Moblin upstream. The main missing
feature is the Moblin Browser and I'm planning to speak to the Fedora
Mozilla guys @ FUDCon to see what I need to do to get support for
this. And there's nothing to stop people using Firefox or Epiphany in
the mean time, I use both without issues.

Most of the other 'apps' are actually just standard gnome apps or I
have them already in rawhide. There's one or two minor ones missing
but nothing I'm overly bothered about.
