To explain: Journalists (even those that are familiar with Fedora) can't know each and every details of Fedora and thus rely on those feature pages quite a lot. So after reading http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KDE44 (¹) they might write (for example) something like "One of the new interesting things in Fedora 13 is KDE 4.4" . But most people that already use KDE and Fedora 12 will know: that's nothing new, I already got that version via updates weeks ago. So they will think "the journalists is not well informed, I don't need to read this article any further". Some might ever write to the journalist "you wrote crap, this is nothing new". So he might be angry with the Fedora project, as the information it provided misguided him. That might influence his writing for later releases, which is not what we want. CU knurd (¹) Yes, that page contains "Currently KDE 4.4.2 is packaged in the devel and Fedora 13 branches and also shipped in updates to Fedora 11 and 12.". But journalists are busy people and might not have time to read each and every feature page completely (and might miss is easily if they do). -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
