 Hi,

 Though I'm new to the list, I would consider the following:

 # Communication is important when addressing to international
communities or minorities. This is something that needs to be very well
thinken off.

 # I've seen a survey link (not active though) on the fedora marketing
resources page. I would prioritize this, as information is power, and
having such tool would eventually help us. If we have a 10 million user
spec, we only need 1064 valid questionnaires to grant a 5% error.
Segmenting our targets would allow us to develop more attractive
communication.

 # I would recon that if your objective is massification of Fedora
GNU/Linux, we aim exactly to the points where it does matter to end
users:
 - Ease of use
 - Productivity (Educational/Corporate targets)
 - Support
 - Eye Candy / Technology

 There is no base on this suggestions (such as surveys or studies), but
I would eventually characterize those as some of the most important
things that newcomers and migrating users would value.

 Nelson.
