GO HERE!" The fedora mainsite is not particularly dynamic and I'm not sure things are ready yet to incorporate contributed community content directly. Now that fedoraforum is an "official" forum... perhaps a link to a url in fedoraforum would work best for this purpose.. so that community people can compile a thread of discussion about installation issues.... OR... you can have a page in the wiki at fedoraforum.org maintained by community members to compile a list of significant issues. But someone or a group of people are going to have to step up and volunteer their time to maintain this sort of thing and be on the ball about it. It will take effort to comb through bugzilla and the lists to determine what is and is not a "serious" install issue. I humbly suggest that the best way to get this sort of thing linked into the official site is to start maintaining such a url in fedoraforum or in the fedoraproject wiki, make a commitment to maintaining it for more than one 'release' and then asked to be linked. A dead link that isn't going to be maintained by anyone isn't particularly useful long term. >https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora+Core&version=fc4test2&component=anaconda&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc= > > or whatever's appropriate. I really don't think a cookie-cutter bugzilla query is all that useful, for general consumption. People who know how to interact with bugzilla can query bugzilla for themselves. For people who don't know how to interact with bugzilla...thats just going to be a long list of text. What you really want is some human-being to classify certain issues as "important" or "common" and to compile known workarounds, referencing bugzilla tickets as needed. > > when folks are trying to install, and things just aren't going their > way, they want help fast, so giving them a single point of contact can > minimize the frustration. Personally, i think anyone who desires "help fast" for a test release is probably approaching the endeavor with the wrong attitude and expectations. And again, i think these people are going to be looking for a human editted summary not a list of bugzilla tickets. -jef"I don't care who you are, and how much you hate George Lucas' blood-sucking approach to marketting and trademark licensing, nor how badly you thought episodes 1 and 2 blew. All of it.. the hype and the disappointment and even the Jar-Jar tongue shaped candy..has been vindicated by the creation of dark chocolate M&M's. We should all get down on our knees and thank Lucas and his money lusting trademark licensing team for making dark chocolate M&M's a reality. My life will be forever changed."spaleta
