The ideal situation is to have volunteers that organize and maintain the 
answers to common questions on the mail list into a wiki so repeat 
questions can be answered with a link - or avoided by searching there 
first.  However, most of the repeat questions regarding fedora involve 
things that can only be found in 3rd party repositories that for legal 
reasons are not mentioned, and probably can't be on any official fedora 
wiki either.
