My use cases fall into two broad categories - algorithmic music composition and computational journalism. The former is almost exactly the Fedora Jam audio spin, augmented by packages from Planet CCRMA. The latter is a mix of Design Suite and Science and Engineering spins and other packages, and can be rather neatly summarized by browsing all the scripts in https://github.com/znmeb/Computational-Journalism-Publsihers-Workbench of the form 'yum-*.bash'. ;-)

I'm considering system specs at this point, but establishing the roles deployed might aid in targeting more comprehensive documentation. Beyond a basic desktop, what use cases would you like to see us represent?
FWIW I primarily use Fedora as a creative workstation, for both vector & bitmap graphic manipulation as well as non-linear video editing and occasional audio editing. I recently had one of my two 4 GB RAM DIMMs die, and noticed a big difference in how quickly Gimp was able to process images... it really slowed down. On my i7 system with full 8 GB of RAM Fedora performs quite well with what I work on though.
