This page is going to be the landing place for our talking points,
which Max summarized so well in today's Marketing meeting.  They're
also somewhat explained on this page.

I would suggest we start by looking at the current feature list, and
finding changes that are going to be of interest to consumers of the
Fedora distribution:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/FeatureList

Things that jump out at me at a first cut as features around which we
can build compelling stories.  This is just my list -- so please look
at the full feature list and ask yourself if there's something further
that has widespread appeal, preferably involving Fedora community
members' upstream contributions, that are immensely cool.

For Joe User:
* ABRT - easy bug filing for n00bs
* Better Webcam support - SSIA
* Mobile broadband enhancements to NetworkManager - SSIA
* PackageKit command-not-found plugin - will install packages based on
a terminal command if it's missing

For Joe Admin:
* libguestfs - allows direct tinkering with guest disk image files
* LOTS of other KVM improvements - NIC hotplug, virtual disk image
performance, etc. -- see individual pages
