I have seen the site. I agree it isn't perfect and to restate my
point. How does the new user know about this site? This is the idea
behind a link to these types of readme's.
How about a list of them in default bookmarks in the various browsers.
Actually this could be a RFE. A set of bookmarks to various Fedora
sites and howto's. Hum.
