What was described to us at the board meeting at fudcon back in the beginning of this year was this: 1. people encounter an unknown format 2. a box pops up to tell them they can go to this link to learn more about this 3. that link would be fedoraproject.org/codec_info_is_us or something like that 4. the content we would control. We could offer a link to the fluendo codecs if we wanted to - but it would not necessarily have to be the only thing. and most importantly we could tell the user why the codec they're fighting with is evil, etc, etc. When did codecbuddy change to ONLY point to fluendo and do nothing else? I'm positive there was an education component to codec buddy - but it doesn't seem like it is there now. -sv _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
