Is there any reason why the main Fedora website still doesn't contain any links or hints that the public CVS server exists or that Fedora Extras exists? No mention on the front page, no "CVS Server" on the left sidebar except when you're actually on the CVS Server page, and plenty of references like on http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/ , which suggests contributing to fedora.us, "the older Fedora Linux project with which the Fedora Project will be merging," and promises that the public CVS server (which already exists) "is intended to be available real soon now." There's no mention on any of the Download pages about Fedora Extras, either, though users may figure out to look at that "extras" directory when they click on the "Download Server" button.
Is there rhyme or reason behind having Fedora Extras and the CVS server nearly impossible to find from the main site for a new user? Or have things merely just not been updated yet?

The web site is really out of date. The intent is to move it into cvs.fedora.redhat.com Real Soon Now so more people can make more updates more easily. Please keep bugging us until this happens :)
Thanks, -- Elliot

Hey, I'm switching distributions on my laptop. Seeing smiling half-naked athletic people holding and caressing each-other doesn't bring up the memories of saluting to a disembodied alabaster head. :)
In fact, I'm not sure what memories it brings... ...hm.
