Hello folk,
Just a round-up of the weekly (or bi-weekly) happenings in the Fedora community, all thanks to mailing list postings. I wish for this to continue (bi-weekly seems more reasonable) and hope for contributions from the community as well.
http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/week1.html
Why it exists? We've reached a stage where there are plenty of posts and we have plenty of resources out there. A (bi-)weekly summary seems like the right thing to do.
Hope this is a useful resource.
Regards.

This is the first I've seen of the site. A community news site for fedora is a great idea.
I would love to see a Slash/GnomeDesktop.org-style site with news updates and reader replies. Maybe even a simple movable-type weblog would suffice for now.
While technically, this is mostly redundant when used in tandem with other tools (mailing list in particular), it does a long way to letting others learn about and join the community. Lots of people will read a website before they'll subscribe to a mailing list.

http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/week1.shtml is "more correct". I'll get an index.shtml up soon enough.

I think you've got to speak to Thomas Chung about this, as I don't own the site :)
But most summaries/news updates don't have a feedback feature (gnome summaries, debian weekly news, openoffice.org updates).

Yup. Hence the summaries.

Hey, good job. I've been thinking we need something like KernelTraffic for casual visitors to figure out what's going on at Fedora without reading all the mailing lists. You have created exactly that.
Keep up the good work.

I'll second that. Content is nice and to the point, layout isn't fancy but I didn't read it to admire the artwork 8)

You should try http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/week1.shtml instead of http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/week1.html ;-)

I reckon the layout still isn't "fancy". But I'll keep the .html somewhere else for the next issue.

Wow, this is rad. Please keep them coming!

I hope Fedora News stops instructing newbies to use root for anything (including making RPMS from software obtained without any checks).
If people start getting used to do it, pretty soon now we'll have viruses. No, seriously.
Fedora News: STOP IT, PLEASE!

Hmm, I posted a reply to this on fedora-list, verifying that I have no such instructions and only do mailing list summaries (basically) and stuff on the Net and well, on irc.
I'm a sudo fan!

I think Rui was talking about articles like this: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/helixplayer/01.shtml

Not for building RPMs though, surely :)

Putting on my official fedora, I'll chime in and say that I think this is definitely a useful resource. Thank you!
