How much would it be? How > transparent are those details? The idea of the sponsorship/affiliate element would be to enable additional investment in Fedora. (Though I think there are other reasons to move to the live start page beyond just sponsorship -- user experience, communications channel, etc as pointed out in my initial note). Potential revenue would depend on the size and behavior of Fedora's audience, and the terms that could be negotiated with a commercial search provider. Agree on the need for transparency. don _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
