And here the Board's hard work comes into play. Reference, the current state of the discussion on Fedora's target audience: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-October/msg00350.html "We found four defining characteristics that we believe best describe the Fedora distribution's target audience: Someone who (1) is voluntarily switching to Linux, (2) is familiar with computers, but is not necessarily a hacker or developer, (3) is likely to collaborate in some fashion when something's wrong with Fedora, and (4) wants to use Fedora for general productivity, either using desktop applications or a Web browser." as per that, 'low-computer-literacy newbies' are not the user group towards which Fedora is primarily targeted, hence their needs should not be a high priority in designing the download page. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
