from earlier posts, it seems that the canonical place to find the release notes is just at a download site by digging waaaaay down to the "os/" directory.
wouldn't it make more sense to have something this useful at a prominent place at fedora.redhat.com? like, say, on the main page? right now, there's a short blurb there entitled "Fedora Core 3 Test 2 Available". wouldn't this be a fine place for a link to the release notes?

How about way down on the main directory of your install CD? Did you notice the button where you can read the release notes before installing?

Thats a nice thing to do while you wait for the files to be copied ;-)
Altough, you still have to download it or crawl through download mirrors. Wouldn't hurt if it was at http://fedora.redhat.com (like skype does)

no, what i meant was a convenient place for people to read the notes *without* having to locate a mirror or download the release or start an install. the release notes for FC 2 are available online in a prominent place:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/
why not the release notes for the latest beta as well? every time there's a new release, inevitably, someone wants to know where to read the release notes. why not make it easy for them?
if you check out
there's a prominent section there entitled "Fedora Core 3 Test 2 Available". wouldn't it be useful to add a link to that paragraph to the notes?

A compromise... place a link to the release notes in the os tree in this page: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/test.html
The page that lists the iso locations and the md5sums. A link to the release notes best fits here.
