Nevertheless, I think the idea of putting this information in a slightly more 
community accessible format would be *a good thing*.  Most fedora users (F7-F8 
types) are not keeping track of ongoing development of F9 so they are not that 
aware of the feature list upcoming... meaning they lack excitement about it (and 
consequently most are not chatting up their buddies about how cool it is).

The majority of non-fedora users I chat with have no idea of the advancements 
occurring over here, many of which are effecting their fav distros more than 
they know due to the focus of moving improvement effort upstream!

The mailing list archives are not user accessible information sources like a 
'vote features up or down' site.  The wiki itself is somewhat stale in that 
regard too, at least much more so than an open comment and vote system.  I guess 
I'm not doing what I could to help there since I'm not even in the wiki edit 
group and I've been rawhiding since rh7.3.  Are most F8 users going to get wiki 
edit access to post back 'hey I like this new f9 feature its worth promoting to 
my friends'?
