.jigdo should start some application that handles this file for user -
as .torrent does, or there should be at least README in the dir
explaining what to do with those file, or there should be something else
pointing to what to do with those files. I understand what to do with
them, you do also, but lot of people do not, and explaining this in
mailing list is useless, for those who are JUST clicking on
"get-fedora".
I understand your point, however... setting up jigdo to 'just open' via an
application is something that cannot be done GENERALLY for other systems people
may be using when they try to download fedora. If they are using a Fedora
release already, and have a jigdo supporting app installed, it should open with
that application (I do not know if this is true for F8 or not, but I would agree
it should be true).
A small link from the get-fedora page like 'what is jigdo?' would be useful. To
that end I've filed the following bug in the fedora-infrastructure TRAC [1].
You may feel free to follow up on it there when someone in the websites team
sees it.
That said.. a user should not click on a 'jigdo' link without knowing that the
hell it is either. ;) Google would serve them well, but a link to the fedora
wiki would be a nice touch.
