All our users don't use firefox. ;) I was hoping we could direct people to our support channels in something like a start page: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/17 But I'm open to ideas. I suspect many/most of our users change their homepage after install to their igoogle page or something they use more often. I guess I would not mind seeing a page that points people to how to join/contribute, how to get help, and any important announcements from the Fedora project. I guess this is more something for the websites group to look into? > Best way to solve a problem is to make it not a problem anymore :) > Certainly beats feeling like you're compromising your values!
