Hi

As part of the release of Fedora 16 (Verne) today, I am proud to
announce the launch of Ask Fedora at http://ask.fedoraproject.org.  Ask
Fedora is a community knowledge base and support forum for the Fedora
community. You can ask any questions related to Fedora and you do not
need to a separate id to post questions or answer them.

You can use any openid to login including Google or Wordpress.  You can
use your Fedora identity as well (fasname.id.fedoraproject.org). Refer
to
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/22/how-do-i-use-my-fas-id-to-log-in-to-ask-fedora
for more details,

Ask Fedora is powered by Askbot (http://askbot.org), a Django based web
application and upstream developers, especially Evgeny Fadeev,  Adolfo
Fitoria, NoahY and several others have very helpful and deserve special
credit for being very responsive, collaborating with us regularly by
fixing bugs, adding features and reviewing changes.

The goal of Ask Fedora is to be the best place for community support in
Fedora and integrate tightly with the rest of the Fedora infrastructure.
Refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ask_fedora and get involved.  If
you are a Python/ Django programmer, we would love to have your
participation.  Join us!

Thanks to everyone who helped out including Prasad.J.Pandit (PJP),
Kevin Fenzi, Toshio Ernie Kuratomi, Matthias Runge, Praveen Kumar,  Arun
SAG,  Ratnadeep Debnath, Lakshmi Narasimhan, Jitesh Shah,  Sayan
Chowdhury, Raghu Udiyar, Jishnu, Hrishi and Rag Sagar for helping in
packaging, fixing bugs and implementing new features and setting up the
infrastructure.  We couldn't have done without your enthusiastic
participation.

Rahul
