Yes - I was thinking in terms of the "people like reviewers" point: having RSS feeds of Fedora news there by default may be a nice feature for people actively interested in New Cool Stuff. Although there is vast amounts of Free Software now out there, I wonder how many desktop apps are really polished enough to be promoted to your average pragmatic user ? If we short listed just the stuff in Extras that met certain criteria (usability, stability, desktop integration etc.) we might find that we have a manageable list that changes fairly slowly. -- Stuart Ellis stuart@xxxxxxxx Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
