Or adding to my previous post, perhaps the mailing list archive search
interface could be improved and made to look more like a knowledge base
type interface. So many obscure things have been solved on this list,
that by improving the search interface to the list it unlocks and makes
a lot of pertinent information much more accessible. For example, one
easy improvement to make would be to put a link directly to the search
inteface at:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/. So on the page
where the mailing lists are listed
(
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/) there should be a
direct link to the archive search interface. For example:
fedora-list - For users of Fedora Core releases | Search Archives for
Solutions | Join Archive
So, instead of just linking "fedora-list". Perhaps we could add
additional, clearly-labeled links. But adding a "Search Archives for
Solutions" type link, this makes it clear to unfamiliar users that the
mailing list is a great place to find solutions to obscure problems.
This tweak alone could improve things a lot for people looking for help.
Since the info is already there, it just needs to be revealed in more
efficient ways.

Wouldn't it save everyone some time if we could convince Red Hat
to put
up a resources/links page on the Fedora website to pages that document
the new features in Fedora. Or at least create an "official" Fedora FAQ
that would link out to "unofficial" but high quality sites. Or maybe the
maintainers of these "unofficial" FAQs can pool together their talents
and donate their knowledge to one monolithic "official" Fedora FAQ. I
see a lot of questions on this list that could be solved easily in this
way. After awhile people would know to visit the Fedora FAQ/Knowledge
Base and be confident that they will find their answer there. Thoughts?
