Hello,
trying to reach broader audience and get some feedback, hopefully resolving the issue
concerning Fedora Developer Portal[1]. Specifically its content- C# IDEs[1] (generated
from its github source[2]).
Changes requesting a recommendation of proprietary software on Fedora are postponed[3]
from release. Full thread[4] is on our ML.
Note that the FDP is aimed to help developers *on* Fedora, using tools not necessarily
packaged *in* Fedora. And it's not a documentation[5].

Since this thread didn't move anywhere I would appreciate being able to refer
people to the page again, with the original content. The current state is a
misleading lie.
If anyone would like to discuss this further, I suggest raising a ticket or
complaint with Council, to determine or clarify what content should be on
the developer portal - it seems unclear. Until such decision is made, I am
strongly against anything being censored for any reason.
Radko,
like with any OpenSource project, your PR does not have to be merged and amendments can be
made to your changes. Please be patient while we try to resolve this.
Regards,
Pavel
