For what it's worth, this is the second-highest upvoted suggestion on the meta question I asked on the site.

They aren't an open source company, but they're awesome about open _content_. However, the process for becoming a unique Stack Exchange site does not seem likely to succeed. There was an attempt a few years ago, and it fell flat. Ask Ubuntu is basically grandfathered in from a long time ago, and I'm not sure that would succeed now either. That would leave us pointing to the Fedora tag on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/fedora?sort=frequent&pageSize=50 which we could certainly do, but we wouldn't really be about to build our own community around it and we would be subject to what the community on that site feels is on topic or off. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
