Which came first the contributor or the user.... I still don't think I've seen you define which segment of the userbase you are trying to target...specifically. I am personally wary of actively encourage novice linux users to use fedora, because of the rate of change and leading edge nature of the distribution. I'd rather underpromise than overpromise with any expectation to the experience novice users are going to have. I do not think fedora is the best choice for every novice linux users on the planet and I don't we to see any aggressive campaign to try to accomplish that very large scale migration. -jef
