can someone explain the difference between the "fedora" and "fedora test" lists. given that fedora core is itself a beta, what is the distinction?

fedora is for fedora users fedora-test is for beta-testers
By no, we are all testers, i think.

which is the way i understood it. technically, isn't it true that there is no actual fedora product? there is only a beta, no? that is fedora core, test2?

No, not exactly. We will be cutting "Fedora Core 1" (or whatever numeric we end up attaching), and at that time, the fedora-list will start to be a discussion list for the first release, while the fedora-test-list will continue to be a beta test list for new packages which come out. Granted, this will be a fuzzy line until the case where we have to branch for a "big change." The biggest one coming down the list will be the 2.6 kernel, and at that time, the fedora-test list will be a place for discussion of those integration efforts, while the fedora-list will continue blissfully with the 2.4 kernel. Once the 2.6-based distro is ready for primetime, we'll release it and the fedora-list will start talking about the 2.6-based release.

yes, fedora-core test2 is fedora-core :-) I think (hope!) the difference will become clear when fedora is relaeased. Fedora-list will be for users and fedora-test is the place for testers of the next fedora-core. At the moment I'm crossreading both, which is really a hard job (up to 200 emails a day), but I think the testers-list is really necessary as long as you are unsing a test release :(

There will be a 'Fedora Core 1' release. How different its quality is from a beta depends on what bugs the testers report. :)
