Yes, the Evolution warning does not appear in the final version that ships with Fedora 13. It appears in the pre-release versions that we ship with our pre-release Fedora 13 Alpha and Beta, but has disappeared at this point. > Agave is a nice little apps that I (and some other people around here) > are linking a lot.

Or the User Guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org ? I'm interested in the quesetions raised because they might be good issues to file as bugs for that User Guide. For instance, I don't see any clear answer to the question "Where do I save my files?". One might assume the answer would be the Documents folder that comes up in a Save dialog, but it's not crystal-clear. > For reporting bugs I believe we had in the works some desktop app to > make it easier.
