Not all of this volume problem is because of flame wars and other
nonsense. Frequently difficult problems come up that nobody reading
can answer. The answer to "has anyone else encounter this problem?" is
almost always no. And there is a limited number of people who are
experienced and generous of their time to answer questions.
This problem exists on web forums too, such as
http://www.fedoraforum.org/ (on which I am a moderator). Currently we
have over 10,000 registered users and hundreds of posts a day.
Hopefully the community will achieve "critical mass" so that there are
enough experienced users to answer the flood of questions.
Many posters are asking the same questions. Fedora Core needs to have
a more proactive FAQ with either more frequent updates or a better
positioned link on their web page.
