Is anyone feeling inspired? I am surprised no one responded to this post, and I don't think we are there yet. Inspiration is only part of the puzzle for me, time is the major factor ( i can barley make the meetings you are running :), and I am sure that is true of others. Growing a bit more couldn't hurt.

My name is next to this one and I am not sure what our plan is? what are we planning to do to improve this? I am happy to work on anything we decide on/want to see, offer opinions or do mockups...Let's make 'getting fedora' better.

What do y'all think? I think it's the right path, and I think we still need you to bust trail :) I will bring up item 1 in the next meeting, but don't know anything about 2 other than it was to be a web app of sorts, and not just a set of static pages. my $.02 -- Craig > > --Max > -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
