I hope you dont take this personal, but i think you are one of the guys who are delaying the advance and progress of the website team. i know you help a lot and i give you credit for that. But you are always the one who is against new proposals and ideas. Also i dont want to sound like a mr. know-it-all but we are talking here about a website and thats a very dynamic field in which changes needs to be done quick because new requirements will show up before you finish building the previous ones. If you ever heard about RAD (rapid application development) this is the field in which it should be applied, and having long discussions about what should/shouldn't be done is not helping. back to the main subject, Users demand information, and as a project we should provide that information, and the kind of information they demand changes very quick, we cant always show the same info or the website will be useless as people might already know whats in it so they wont visit it. -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
