Yep yep, this is taking shape... I agree with tristan. I propouse you two
things: We can make FAS sign up available through anaconda JUST FOR THE
REALLY INTERESTED ONES but I was talking about the notifier as a way to "get
the people in touch with fedora"... Even if my help is useful or not I want
you to think about this idea and consider it. Just imagine: If we add this
kind of app, some kind of "Fedora News Notifier" we're going to be the first
Operating System in turning the "Simple Software" concept into a
"Intelligent Enviroment" one.  I mean, for example, imagine, don't know, in
Fedora 15, maybe 16 a new function, the notifier, that app that can help
users by telling them what to do next after the installation, giving them a
warm welcome and also can notifying them about important news of the
community. This kind of service and/or attention makes the user believe that
Fedora is alive, it's not just a bunch of software, it's also a friendly
smart enviroment powered by it's users... We can make Fedora the Next
Generation Operating System and in the way of that, have a way to tell the
people about bugs like the one mentioned above :)

I was thinking about the notifier as an app like the BUG REPORTER but with
other propouses, having the option to select WHAT NEWS PEOPLE WANNA RECIEVE
and also having a search tool wich can help them to find any information
they need about fedora in one click.

P.S. Another idea can be build some kind of Google Wave Widget (using Google
Desktop and Gadgets API) and adding the Google Gadgets Package, as far as I
know, it's opensource...

Let's keep talking.
