the problem is that i don't know *how* i would fix that content in
terms of rewording. in most cases, i can only point out what appear
to be inaccuracies -- i don't quite have the background to know what
it *should* say.
None of us have degrees in technical documentation. :-) There are
probably many different ways you could fix the notes, such as:
"Fedora offers a number of other disc-burning applications, such as
GnomeBaker and k3b."
"Users who want more disc-burning options can install programs such as
k3b and GnomeBaker."
"The Fedora software repositories contain many other applications for
burning CDs and DVDs."
The possibilities are endless! You don't even have to get it right on
the first try; that's why many people have watches on the release notes
beats. If something comes out written oddly, we just fix it to
something that we think works better with the Fedora Style Guide.
Please feel free to try your hand in the future, your contributions are
welcome.
