People in #fedora usually explicitly tell people to take pre-release questions to #fedora-qa, though, they don't usually just say 'not here'. we don't maintain the page, though; the websites group does. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites should have info on where to propose this. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
