One Page Release Notes - Draft in Progress

[Mel Chua]

Great suggestions - thanks, Adrienne! (Wow, we don't explain Linux at 
all... you're right. Let's fix that.)

Let's sprint on this again during class time tomorrow (11am-12:15pm EST) 
in #fedora-mktg - incorporate these comments, and finish the content 
(get it to the point where we'd be happy to release it, though minor 
tweaks may still continue).

Find me on IRC (mchua) when class starts, and we'll put up an etherpad 
and throw the URL out to the marketing mailing list so others can join.
