Anyone can change it, feel free. Eventually, the wiki is to be moved to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ - in fact the import is already supposed to be happening, I just think that those of us that can do it, are kinda swamped > Perhaps the real problem is that the directory that it should be > pointing to - the Fedora.us "extras" RPM directory for FC3 - is still > empty? ;) (With the mirror list stuff in Yum and up2date it seems pretty > pointless to ask people to point Yum to the download.fedora.us site I > think, so the only relevant link there would be the one for extra > packages.)
