noon
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.
Regards,
Radka

I'd love to see some pages/mentions for those IDEs too (while explicitly
stated that they're proprietary solutions). It's the 'developer' we care
about foremost (more below).

I'd like to stress once more, that the advertised software ('mentioned')
does not have to be *in* Fedora.
Provided it works (enhances developers' experience) on Fedora, and is
reasonably packaged/distributed. F.e. 'copr', RPM Fusion, PyPI[1], etc..
Although packaging the recommended SW into Fedora is preferred, it doesn't
necessarily mean it's a good recommendation for a developer.

Please bear in mind that most benefitial result (for FDP) is AFAICT
intentended from all.
It is, after all, a community project. I did want to release the FDP
update, while omitting any conflicting content. I didn't make any changes
to website or content sources, but merely edited the generated result[2].
This will be corrected, when a decision is made.
