There used to be some howto's other kinds of things that were Fedora specific. My best guess is that this is now transferred over to the main Fedora webpage and some pages their in : > > http://fedoraproject.org/index.html > > http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help > > http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora > > http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ Here here! FWN used to be something worth reading, but has now been bastardized into what looks more like an employee rule-book for a totally mindless organization. FWN was supposed to be for the end-users, not for simply registering arcane meeting minutes or warnings about actually saying anything useful. I'm quite sure that the people at these meetings are well aware of what has gone on in the meeting. Can we change it? I vote for ripping it apart and going back to what it used to be. FAMSCO and dev-list acceptable-use mis-statements are not the kind of garbage that I want to see in it. While we're at it, things like world-wide FAMSCO event lists are unlikely to be of interest to non-Ambassadors, and they should move this stuff out of FWN into their own mailing list. I want to see events I can contribute to that are within a hundred kilometres of me, and what code I can fix or test to make a difference. And instead of recording minutes about a decision to include SQLninja without recording anything but a final decision, why don't we see an article about how to use the new tool? This stuff is guaranteed to disconnect the people to whom it was originally intended to connect to.
