It's great result.
I also modified this page to move me to from "Unknown" to "Vietnam" category.

Hi,
I am sorry to say, that this page should not be edited by hand.
It will be overwritten in the next update.
What you should really do, is login to FAS and set your country code.
You will be automatically listed under your country.
Thanks.

My country code had been "VN" before.

Thanks for putting this together Fabian and Susmit.  It took me a
minute to realize I had never set my FAS account to public, but I
think I will be off the "unknown" list in no time now.

My country code had been "VN" before.
When will my name be moved in this list? (to "Vietnam" category)

Kind regards,

Guess you missed the big warning on the page about modifying it?

Sorry. Now I saw it.
Also hope it will be corrected soon.

What big warning on the page about modifying it?

What is the purpose of this page in the future?

Is it intended to be where someone goes to find a contact? Or
something else entirely?

country list = find a Ambassador 
verification page = verify a Ambassador

now we can deliver both with one site - we should keep the forwarder on the 
CountryList

Might be nice to have the new page also show where in the country the 
ambassador resides. That way you can find and verify the ambassador 
closest to you.

This was similar to my concern. If I want to reach someone in the
group from India where there are over 100 listed I'm likely to just
pick whoever is randomly in the #1 position. Which could easily
overwhelm that ambassador.

The problem with this is FAS does not reveal any postal address to
others, (even admins of a group) according to privacy policy of
Fedora.
We need to discuss this to find a workaround.

Should there be a link on the name to the Ambassador's wiki page, where he
or she has contact information (hopefully)?

What about a field like an extra category in the wikipage?
If the person does not comply displaying his or her region, will not be
displayed... if they do it will be shown.
Maybe something like state or the equivalent in other countries.

I agree with Neville, it would certainly be helpful for the users, and the
first ambassador in the alphabetical list wouldn't be pinged all the time.

A better idea IMHO will be to update the latitude and longitude and
build a visual map on that.

I totally agree with Neville. Let us send a notice to all ambassadors. And I
guess even if an ambassador cannot provide with an exact address due to
personal reasons he/she can atleast specify the region. It won't hurt as we
are already aware of countries. It should be done as soon as possible.

It would be nice to build that into FedoraCommunity as well.  Make a
filter app based upon country / region.

Your account information is private. So, the script can not pick up
the information.
You will have to make it public if you want to list yourself under your country.
Thanks.
