Marketing the workstation as suitable for both developers and normal end users

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi,

I just saw this on the devel list. It seems that the intended target
audience of the workstation has been assumed to be only developers
completely excluding simple end users. What can we do to clarify this?

Yes, this has always been a problem, one that has been solved by
removing everything except the live CD. :p

This would be redundant with Fedora Workstation. Workstation is what you
want to download. We want it to be great for developers, but it's not
for developers only: your confusion indicates that we have not been
successful at marketing it as such.
