The best thing about EPEL is that there are no " the EPEL project
leaders" beyond those that are interested in the project. Since you
have expressed a lot of interest in things.. what are your ideas on
how we can fix this problem?
1) We should remove the FAQ documents?
2) Would you like to be the EPEL-EL4 Tsar to deal with these issues?
3) Etc?
