It's a wiki, so that can be fixed.... I've added a brief "EPEL" section
to that page. Feel free to improve it.
While some of these users will read the links to generic
instructions
that was posted, and do things right, most will not (in my experience
none reached that point). An improvement would be not to link to
generic instructions but post specific instructions for the component
fixed. How to install and how to leave feedback. At this moment my
impression is that we are posting links to bugzilla and we expect the
users to educate themselves.
That's probably true. What else can we do to improve that?
