Awareness also helps. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing. All help
is most welcome.
I don't think it's an awareness issue, I think it is more a polish
issue. I've known people to choose ubuntu over fedora just because
the extra function keys on their laptop work with ubuntu and not
fedora.
I was talking about the awareness that there already exists a marketing
team. For other things, there is always bugzilla and yes Fedora does do
more of the core hard system work compared to polishing now. A bit of
focus on the polishing cant hurt. We are improving though. Help is welcome.
