None of us have degrees in technical documentation. :-) There are probably many different ways you could fix the notes, such as: "Fedora offers a number of other disc-burning applications, such as GnomeBaker and k3b." "Users who want more disc-burning options can install programs such as k3b and GnomeBaker." "The Fedora software repositories contain many other applications for burning CDs and DVDs." The possibilities are endless! You don't even have to get it right on the first try; that's why many people have watches on the release notes beats. If something comes out written oddly, we just fix it to something that we think works better with the Fedora Style Guide. Please feel free to try your hand in the future, your contributions are welcome. -- Paul W.
