Fedora automatically gets press when the test releases go out, and will also get some when the Foundation is announced, so if there is a good set of pages on participating the URL could be promoted on the press releases. Other channels I could think of, which could be used at pretty much any time: - fedora-list - fedora-announce - FedoraNews Also possible, but time-sensitive: - Red Hat Magazine - print Linux magazines (I'm sure that at least one I've seen has a "Help Wanted" section for Open Source projects) - the release notes themselves (there was a help wanted sign on the FC4t1 notes) -- 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
