I really appreciate the shift from the proverbial whining of late..... An excellent suggestion, and a great list of recurring issues. You also summarized where a lot of information is being kept. I find one of the greatest challenges, at the moment, is, as you point out, how to locate the information. But my question is whether we really need yet another source.... I think a better use of our efforts might be to improve the format and volume of information at fedorafaq.org because, frankly, what you are describing sounds like a better organized (hierarchical) FAQ - and they do seem to address, to some extent, some of the more critical things in your list. Converting to more of a Wiki environment I think has merit too... Perhaps you could bring this suggestion to the folks there and see if they are interested (or need some competition :-) ).... I am also concerned that this should really be addressed by the "community" side of the Fedora Project and be better linked in with the "official" fedora.redhat.com site, though I do not think those of us on the outside are able to do this yet..... Does anyone have a sense of where/how we might be able to "open up more" some of these "support" things? Let's keep these thoughts going..... --Rob
