<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">See, the uptade bug announced here: <a href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-July/002843.html">http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-July/002843.html</a> really worried me... </font><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; ">it is not a secret that there's a myth about the Fedora O.S. not being situable for every-day desktop users, and I agree with the idea of this being just a myth...</span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Well, it's kind of true that there are some a little bit "More User Friendly" Linux Distributions but in my point of view Fedora is the Right,</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif">(Just Perfect) combination Between "Being Friendly" and "Being Didactical"; Fedora Offers to the user some kind of "Extra Linux Knowledge" </font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Without being really hard for "newbies", wich is just great... The point is that I was concerned about this bug because: </font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I was thinking: "Ok, I visit the Fedora Project Website quite often", so I know there's a Bug and I get my hands working to fix it. </font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">(As a matter of fact I fixed it some time ago without being totally awared of it)</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">But then I thought about all the people that Just use Fedora as a Normal Desktop O.S,</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Those people who doesn't care what's going on in the website, those people who were convinced by a friend/family member</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">to install Fedora in their PC's... Those Newbies.</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">This brought me a conclusion: If the announcement is only in the Fedora Website and maybe in some blogs, </font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">¿How will those people be awared of the bug? Of course their "geek" friends can tell them and maybe handle the fixing part</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">but we're talking about thousands, maybe millions of "Fedora Newbies" affected by the MOST MORTAL VIRUS in the history</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">of humankind: The lack of information...</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">So because of this, I came out with an idea, it's just an idea, don't know if you may consider it important and/or interesting:</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Why don't we use a "second notification system" I mean, by example, we can add to anaconda an additional step </font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">to let people create some kind of FAS account in order to win more "adepts" and also giving us the chance of notify</font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">them by e-mail or something like that when this kind of problems happen. (Of course, if they agree with that)</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Or maybe a Fedora News Digest app integrated in all major desktop enviroments and activable only under users order...</font></div><div>
<font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Don't Know... Just an idea, any words to add? </font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">P.S. I contributed with my two cents by making a blog post announcing the bug and also asked the "thisweekinlinux" guy to talk about it in his next video</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">in order to let more users to be awared of the bug and able to fix it, he agreed by the way :)<br clear="all"></font><br>-- <br><-Manuel Escudero-><br>Linux User #509052<br>@GWave: <a href="mailto:jmlevick@googlewave.com">jmlevick@googlewave.com</a><br>
