Difficult to find information about how Fedora is governed

[Máirín Duffy]

Jesse, first off I do have a question for you I stupidly didn't think to
ask, because I made some assumptions:

- the person you talked to, were they a Fedora contributor or a Fedora
user?

- what he was trying to accomplish - cite a series of complaints? What
would have been the appropriate place to ferry him off to? 

My assumptions were that it was a contributor, and she or he wanted to
cite some complaints that would have been appropriate to bring up on
this mailing list here (advisory-board@). Are these assumptions correct?

Some goals I think that might be good here:

- Somewhere on fedoraproject.org (it seems the 'About' page/section
would be most appropriate) a user could learn more about our governance
structure and get deep linked into the appropriate wiki pages / blogs /
etc.

- When you go to the Overview of Fedora on the wiki (which is linked to
fairly widely), there's a section on governance. A user from this page
should be able to access a 'governance' page with an org chart that deep
links into each of the Board / FESCo / FAmSco pages.

- (I know this is pipe-dreamish, but maybe less so now with Zarafa)
Users can access a project-wide schedule that includes public board
meeting times from the Board wiki page.

Where else would someone expect to read about the structure of the
project's governance? Maybe a fiiter nav item on the web site in
addition to the about page shout-out?

p.s. One cool idea would be to have an RSS plugin for media wiki (I've
used one before on my own wiki so I know it works) and have that hooked
into the board's blog and display it on the board wiki page...
