And I have to say, maybe it's just me, but I was far more "wowed" and "awed" by the Gnome & KDE release notes than the Fedora ones. I still got what I wanted from the Fedora ones, but the Gnome & KDE ones really gave me that desire to try them out.
So in addition to the facts we should throw in some sparkly objects that make people NEED to come try it out. The world might end unless you try out our new features!
I agree. I've never read the GNOME or KDE release notes but I will now. If we are missing something that could entice people to come on over then we are missing out.
I guess the main difference I recall are: * Mentioning of what makes $thisrelease better than $thisrelease-- * A reasonably flat layout in one document. No more than 2 levels of hierarchy (easy to digest) * Anything that needs more details is linked elsewhere * The document itself looks pretty. If there is a compelling new style, then that theme is used (e.g., KDE). If the website has a nice interface, than that style is used (Gnome). I fear, currently, Fedora Project is lacking on both fronts, at least on the web side.
