You seem to think this is an all or nothing thing.
Re-read my post to see that this is false. And next time, for the love of God delete some of it when you reply; clearly you need to read it twice but I surely do not.
What I said, paraphrasing briefly, is that (a) I prefer email over board; (b) most of the community appears to think the same way; (c) none of it matters, since boards already exist for your use and pleasure; and (d) if you are unhappy with any of the above or you believe there is any other better way, you are perfectly free to try it because you, like everyone else, are a part of this community and it is a *community project*.
but the message boards do have their place. The *thing* that was pointed out in this thread is nice and more active than I thought it would be and there are *more* than a few using it but it's not operated by the Fedora Project.
Again, the "Fedora Project" is not a corporation, it is a COMMUNITY PROJECT. This means that the community is responsible for its progress, use, and advancement, and so anything that any one of us does to help the Fedora Project is done as part of the Fedora Project Community. Hence, that *thing* (as you put it) is indeed operated by the Fedora Project.
Red Hat, Inc. is just one member of this community. The fact that they are the most active, most prolifically contributing, most supportive, most involved member is highly laudable... but it does not de facto make them responsible for, or give them ownership of, the Fedora Project. They have specifically gone to great lengths to reinforce this vision.
Which part of all of this do you not understand, or with which part of this do you not agree? Please remember to trim your post when you reply.
