Sam's following mail gave me an idea: Provide the user with Fedora "tips of the day" somewhere in the browser splash page (of course nothing splashy or popup). Post FC6 we can talk about how we can enhance the browser splash page, among other doc things. -dim -------- Forwarded message -------- From: Sam Folk-Williams <samfw@xxxxxxxxxx> To: Discussions on expanding the Fedora user base <fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [Fedora-marketing-list] idea on explaining the mp3 question Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2006 12:41:16 -0400 Hi, I know this is an overly-discussed issue, but since I get so many questions on it I wanted to run this idea past everyone. A common complaint I hear is that people think Fedora is "broken" when it doesn't play MP3s. This leads to mailing list and forum traffic, negative word-of-mouth exposure, and needless confusion. I think the problem is that when you try to play an MP3 file... nothing happens at all or you get an ugly codec message -- both of these indeed seem to indicate something is broken. Why not have a pop up that explains why Fedora doesn't play MP3s and give a link to the wiki where it is explained in further detail? I could file an RFE on this.... I think it would cut down on the confusion. Has this been previously discussed? Thoughts?
