Sorry, but I don't agree with your interpretation of the Board's list: - Voluntary Linux consumer - Computer-friendly - Likely collaborator - General productivity user Which of those screams 'will clearly be familiar with the concepts of 'desktop environment', 'KDE', and 'GNOME' to you? 'Voluntary Linux consumer' doesn't mean they *already know about Linux*, just that they have chosen to go out and try Fedora of their own accord. So far as I can see, the classic 'been using Windows and poking around for a while, read a news article about this Linux thing, wants to try it out' person meets those requirements just fine. This person does not know what a 'KDE' is. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
