I appreciate your point. Lots of people did lots of work, and this is all true. Nonetheless, I am reporting subjectively that I went to the site and wasn't directly informed there was a new release, where to get it, or where the wiki even was. This I don't call "bikeshedding". That would be "oh geeze, I don't like the color" or "the Javascript looks bad on my cellphone" or whatever. I'll try nicer phrasing next time :) Jon. -- websites mailing list websites@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/websites
