Hi

Really? You think more people want to contribute to Fedora than to use it?




http://fedora.redhat.com is currently  focussed towards end users


Let's look at the opening line of fedora.redhat.com:

"The Fedora Project is an open source project sponsored by Red Hat and supported by the Fedora community. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc."

So far readers don't know:
- That Fedora is a Linux distro, or an Operating System
- Why it's good
- Where to get it
- Where to get help for it

They do know:
- That its Open Source
- That stuff in it may end up in RHEL
- That it is not supported by Red Hat

Given this, are yous sure fedora.redhat.com is currently focused towards end users?

Mike


It is but it just assumes a different level of expertise than a person who doesnt know about computers and operating systems. If you are willing to work on improving that, a prototype design similar to the one proposed for fedoraproject.org would be useful
