Not sure who maintains the main text on websites. Here is what I've send to list for translators:

On the download page there is a text:
"Optionally, you may install Fedora Workstation to a laptop or desktop computer that has at least 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, and 10 GB space available. To do this, run the live version of Fedora Workstation from your USB flash drive on the computer you'd like to install to, run the Fedora Media Writer application, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete installation."

Is this correct? Should a user realy boot of Fedora USB live and then start the Fedora Media Writer app to complete installation - of what?
To be honest this really is confusing to me.

Of the OS.
The sentences are using many English compaction techniques to try and put into 2 sentences what a whole guide is written for.
1. What kind of hardware needs to be used. 2. What that hardware needs to have. 3. The steps needed to install the OS which is a multi stage process a. Make a USB flash drive with the OS (many steps) b. Boot the Fedora Live Workstation from that USB flash drive (many steps) c. Start the Fedora Media Writer Application (located on the desktop) d. Work through the Fedora Media Writer process to install onto the computer (many steps)
I am not sure who 'owns' that page, but I would suggest they put a link to an actual installation guide to less the confusion.
To be honest this really is confusing to me.

Suggested rewrite:
======================================
Running Fedora Workstation
To run Fedora Workstation, you will need:
* Fedora Media Writer (download above)
* A USB Flash drive with at least 1.3 GB space available
* A laptop or desktop computer that has at least a 1GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. (8GB of RAM is recommended.)
Fedora Workstation is provided via Fedora Media Writer. Download this program via the download link above and run it on your system, following the prompts to generate a "live" version of Fedora Workstation on a USB flash drive. You may then run this live version of Fedora Workstation from that USB flash drive.
You can use this Live image to test and play with Fedora without making changes to your hard disk. When you are ready, you can install Fedora Workstation to your hard disk from within this Live environment. (You will need at least 10GB of free space.)
If you need further help, see detailed installation instructions at ....
======================================
NB I bumped the minimum RAM for Workstation, and added a Recommended section. On x86_64, 1GB is painful, and 2GB will barely cut it. Since I know a lot of people use Chrome, I think 8GB is a good recommended point, really.
