Hey gang,
I've written up a draft of the release announcement for Fedora 16 since I volunteered for it in the meeting today. The draft can be found at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_release_announcement
I did what I could based on the talking points and the feature list. If you have any suggestions or edits, please feel free to edit the wiki page. I've never written RAs before, and it turns out to be kind of fun, so if you'd like to provide some constructive criticism on-list, or out-of-band, I'd be glad to hear it!
Thanks, BC

Shall we translate it on wiki?

Apparently the answer is "yes".
FYI for everyone, it's been passed to Marketing for them to do their magic.

Um.... it was? I didn't see anything about that anywhere...
In any case: I may add a section about cloud stuff to it, if nobody minds...

Nice Job, Ben.
One change I would make ... under KDE:
"The new shutdown dialog allows users with multiple operating systems can select which one to reboot to."
I would reword that a little. Perhaps something along the lines of
"A new shutdown dialog allows users with multiple operating systems to select the reboot OS."
although simply replacing "can" with "to" would get 99% of the way there.

Good call. I've edited it as you suggested. That sentence was originally copypasta from the KDE website and somewhere along the rewording I forgot how to English.

It sounded kinda Cajun. I was about to suggest you could make it sound more Cajun by replacing "can" with "might could".

Well done!
When talking about starting UIDs at 1000, I would mention something about interoperability in a mixed environment, with other linuxes that have been starting on 1000.
