The ideal situation is to have volunteers that organize and maintain the answers to common questions on the mail list into a wiki so repeat questions can be answered with a link - or avoided by searching there first. However, most of the repeat questions regarding fedora involve things that can only be found in 3rd party repositories that for legal reasons are not mentioned, and probably can't be on any official fedora wiki either.

Huh?

Is there something that can't be mentioned on this list?  Can you
provide an example?

I'm not sure that it can't be mentioned on this list, but the things you need to make fedora generally useful won't be mentioned by anyone officially connected to fedora. Where do you get Nvidia drivers? Where do you get multimedia codecs? How do you install Sun Java? How do you make any commercial product work (flash/vmware/etc., etc.)? There are legal reasons for some of that for a US based company. Some is just anticompetitive philosophy. Regardless, what users need to know is not going to be supplied through any official channel.
