Or adding to my previous post, perhaps the mailing list archive search interface could be improved and made to look more like a knowledge base type interface. So many obscure things have been solved on this list, that by improving the search interface to the list it unlocks and makes a lot of pertinent information much more accessible. For example, one easy improvement to make would be to put a link directly to the search inteface at: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/. So on the page where the mailing lists are listed (http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/) there should be a direct link to the archive search interface. For example: fedora-list - For users of Fedora Core releases | Search Archives for Solutions | Join Archive So, instead of just linking "fedora-list". Perhaps we could add additional, clearly-labeled links. But adding a "Search Archives for Solutions" type link, this makes it clear to unfamiliar users that the mailing list is a great place to find solutions to obscure problems. This tweak alone could improve things a lot for people looking for help. Since the info is already there, it just needs to be revealed in more efficient ways.
