Default Home Page Links

Was wondering if it might be a good idea to add links pointing to free
media sites on the default Fedora home page?
My reasoning is that most people use their computer purely as a device
for office, web browsing or viewing media. The first two of these we
have well covered out of the box but most people coming from windows
will be disappointed if they can't buy/download mp3s from emp3finder,
itunes etc so why not make it really easy for them to find *free*
content online from magnatune, jamendo etc.
Would be a good opportunity to help increase their awareness of
licensing issues as well and what less restrictive licenses can
achieve, not just in software.

Email request
by Mike McGrath
Hey guys, our new account system will have an "invite a member" feature
where current members can send an invitation to people they think may be
interested in contributing. It already works! Here's what it says.
Please come join the fedora project! Someone thinks your skills and abilities may be able to help our project. If your interested please go to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted
But that stinks... Really bad. So I was wondering if someone else could come up with an interesting, inviting, better than that message to put in the email. Any takers?

Come up with a search engine idea.
by 吴愚
Today, I was stuck in finding the right command
and document to finish my task.
So I think shall we add a Desktop Search Engine for
both tools and documents that are in your Fedora Core?
It could search for the keywords that are described the
tools or involved in the documents.
In the search results, there could be simple examples of
the usage for the tools or the link to the man page. For the
document, a simple description is needed and, of course,
a link to the page.
In my consideration, it could be useful for system administrator,
developer and advanced user.
Does it pratica?Some advise? Thanks very much!

Switching entities back
by Paul W. Frields
We will be reverting entity handling back to the "-e" version. This
will require some additional translation between F7 test4 => F7 Final,
but the work involved should be minimal. I will revert this behavior
*after* the fedora-release-notes package goes to the release engineering
team.
You may find that certain titles or names are not properly translated in
the test4 output for this reason, for example:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236454
This behavior will be fixed after:
1. The entity handling reverts to "xml2po -e", AND
2. Translators complete the changes to their PO content resulting from
the entity handling change.
I expect to make this change around 16-17 April.
I apologize to the translators for creating this bit of extra work, and
I'll try not to have that happen again. Thanks to everyone for your
efforts and keep up the good work!
