Based on the v2 version, a few possible changes:
- Mention that GIO/gvfs allows access to files shared through SMB
(Windows), AppleTalk (MacOS X), Google docs (is that done yet?), and a
number of mobile devices (MTP for Android, iOS).
- Mention Geoclue in the connectivity section
- Mention ModemManager under the NM section
- Mention Bluetooth headsets and speakers support in PulseAudio
- Mention hardware decoding under GStreamer
- Merge Rygel and UPnP entries as UPnP
- Mention grilo under multimedia
- Maybe mention fprintd as a way to access Fingerprint readers?
