We aren't out to create a list that every user on the planet is meant to sign up for and use. It, like most of the other Fedora lists, is primarily for relevant developer discussion. People who are motivated enough to provide feedback can find the list the same way as all of the other lists are found, and signing up for the list is not a big request. If it were, so many people wouldn't already to it. As far as notifying users of the changes, yes, we needed to do more, and we've taken further steps now. Some of the people who maintain the sites, such as myself, do watch for user feedback on this list and in other places. It isn't hard to reach us. As far as bashing the Marketing team, that is completely unwarranted. It is a small team of volunteers who are chasing developments to get things done. If you think you can make a positive contribution, you're welcome to join. If you think that the efforts of our team members are unsatisfactory, I'm sorry you feel that way, but being insulting and doing nothing isn't going to accomplish anything. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ -- Have I been helpful?
