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.
