Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that the focus of Fedora has been influenced by the community? The "cutting-edge, testing ground for Linux enthusiasts" approach is being overrun with new users, that is, the Linux curious. This mirrors my experienced at LWCE this week. Many of the Linux curious we talked to were just trying to get a good desktop. They are turned to Fedora by their Linux experienced friends. The influx into our community of these new-to-Linux and Linux curious has been making changes since very early on. The success and value of the various fedora*.tld websites is an example of this. We did all this while not focusing on those users. We've been focusing on the developers, which is arguably pretty important. :) Our discussions here show that we have recognized these changes as a given fact. How far has that recognition gone? Is it at the tipping point for developers? Is there room to grow our formal scope? We can't deny and embrace at the same time. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
