Introduction
by W. Guy Thomas
Hello, my name is Guy also known as 'misfit-toy' on #fedora.
An unfortunate choice of nicks made while my daughter was watching
rudolph the rednose reindeer.
In any case, I am joining in here at the direction of mether and quaid
to bring up two web sites I have that are devoted to fedora and see what
direction I should take, if any...
The 1st site is http://fedorasolved.com which is what I call a 'reverse
forum' in which there are no questions, only answers. Users post issues
they have resolved themselves. There are no followup questions unless a
'fix' post is called into question.
The 2nd site is one formed recently by a number of independent website
owners such as myself in the hopes of getting some kind of cohesion
amongst us 'third party' sites. http://fedorasolved.com/fccp
I suppose my first question is one of authenticity? i.e. do you think
these sites are valid in the eyes of fedora-marketing and should they
continue as is, or change, or close?
Fedorasolved is getting quite a bit of traffic lately as people pick up
on it, but I have avoided 'self promotion'.
Are there any plans to incorporate listings of private websites such as
mine and others or are we on our own or are we stepping on toes here?
Just a few starter questions.
Hope to participate here.
Thanks for your consideration.
p.s. I am posting this identical email to fedora-docs but not
cross-posting it, so if you are on both lists forgive me for the
duplication.

The front page needs more stuff and to be more useful. to be honest but
a lot of what I think we're looking for is to take the
/people/
/infofeed/
/wiki/
/fudcon/
and any other new page that might pop up and have them have a reasonably
consistent look.

Not _really_ that I can think of. We've used the google
site:some.domain.here trick in the past to setup a simple search
mechanism for a site - incorporating something like that wouldn't be a
bad idea.
What do you think?

Hi All,
I am having trouble receiving emails from this list. I subscribed to
this list a couple of days ago. For some reason I cannot receive
emails.
I am looking to help with the Fedora Project. I have web and content
development skills in PHP and J2ME. I had been a professional web
developer using PHP and MySQL, developing websites for almost 2 yrs.
Now, I do it as a hobby. Seth (Vidal) pointed me to this list. I was
wondering if there is anyone or any project here that needs help or is
there a place where I can sign up? I can write in detail about my
skills. Please feel free to get back to me on the email above. Thanks
again.

two ways:
- a new set of themes for the wiki at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki
and/or
- a new general layout or consistency for the pages at
fedoraproject.org, in general.
In general all we're really looking for is a new design and/or set of
style sheets. Is that do-able?
thanks,
