Right, we never got a revenue-sharing agreement in place (the same challenges we've had in receiving money directly for any purpose) with Google or any other search engine.

Even simply redirecting start.fp.o to the fp.o homepage would be a good first step IMHO. -Matt _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
