Defining the target audience - as broad as it may be - helps here. I'd also speculate that part of the reason that Fedora is not seeing as much grown in terms of downloads is that a lot of people don't like to fix what isn't broken. When things -just work-, the average end-user doesn't necessarily want to rock the boat. It could be a good thing. :) Especially when you consider that - although growth in downloads may not be consistent - contributor account growth seems to be very healthy. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Accounts_2009-10.png > John > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
