I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I propose that we add some additional information to that page [1]. At the very least, a sentence or two about where to direct questions about the alpha and if you're interested in testing, see page which points to new information (maybe the QA or QA/Join wiki pages?). This should at least stem some of the alpha related questions coming into #fedora and hopefully us find some more people who are interested in testing, too!

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
