Hi,
Finally did a quick rewrite of the overview page that I have been wanting to do for a while now. Appreciate a review and additional content.

I found it interesting and informative. But I didn't understand the section on Upstream Focus, "Fedora Project has a strong focus on not deviating from upstream as much as possible in all the different software it includes in the repository", until I read the link provided, when it became clear.
But if the document is intended for non-gurus, it might be worth re-wording this bit. Something like, "Fedora tries to follow the development of packages as closely as possible, only adding its own patches where this is essential."

Fixed. Thanks.

I copied what you did and performed a fairly large rewrite - the result of being an obsessive-compulsive word-hacker.
It's at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich/Overview.
Use whatever you like.

I have taken it with some minor adjustments. Thanks.

I would really like this page to read more easily for project newcomers, at whom it's aimed. That includes first-time Linux users, press, and so forth. Does anyone mind if I take a stab at that?

Sure but if you are aiming for press, take a look at
http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com/msg05089.html
I think covering those list elsewhere and putting in a press link somewhere prominent in the wiki or even in the front page will work better.
