I think that is an incorrect conclusion.
If people want to help they can do so by supplying constructive criticism
in an appropriate forum. (Which isn't the users list for web site design.)
I also find it very rude for people, who as far as I can tell, don't put
much work in towards making Fedora better, to make personal attacks on one
of the people near the top in the amount of work they put in to making
Fedora better.
Then I guess I am a rude person Bruno. I am not a developer, I'm 50 years
too late for that, I wrote my ground breaking SW 15 to 30+ years ago.
When the site is a secret from the users till it goes public, then obviously
they are not going to get any feedback from the users until that site goes
public.
What you are now finding out, is that the _users_ are not happy campers.
Yes, we've now spent entirely too much video ink lambasting the site, no
argument there. But I have to assume that site was composed for those with
very poor eyesight, all the headlines are at least 3x the font size needed
for these diabetic, failing eyes, (does the rest of the world have even
poorer eyesight than what I have left at my age? I think not on average) and
with that corrected, there would be room for quite a few links to the
torrents page. IMO that whole argument about no space is pointless, the
space is there, but poorly used.
