Thanks for the catch, David - and for the edit, Paul. Copying the 
Marketing list on this.

The Talking Points that the Marketing team produces for our release 
deliverables are talking points for the Desktop (GNOME) Spin.

However, the reason we're writing howtos/SOPs[0] for each of the 
Marketing deliverables our team produces is precisely so that individual 
projects (including Spins) can easily make their own versions of our 
deliverables. It's my hope that we'll see talking points, one-page 
release notes, etc. made by multiple Spin teams for F13, and we'll do 
everything we can to make it easy for those teams to do so, in the 
spirit of making tools available so that people can more readily scratch 
their own itches.

Suggestions/feedback welcome - the first step is getting the howtos up 
and written, which will be done by Alpha; they'll be announced to the 
Marketing mailing list as well as posted on 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Marketing_HOWTO as they are 
completed, if you'd like to add that page to your watchlist.
