These new users would be the same people that don't read
fedorafaq.org,
wouldn't they?
You mean that page that was last updated in December, has a total
of 15 problems and solutions, and no way for someone to add solutions
or downloadable attachments? I can see why it isn't so popular...
That answers many of the questions ansked here,
particularly regarding NTFS, but it doesn't stop people asking.
But it makes the answers easy if all you have to supply is a
link to an up to date page. I've seen wiki's work for several
other projects - it just takes a certain critical mass for it to
become the preferred place to look and submit updates.
