Gee,
Somehow this reminds me of a discussion me and Ralf had with Rahul about a week
ago. I believe I made a comment much like this one. Anyone else see a pattern here?

p.s.
Rahul,
When I saw the Fedora 7 Faq on the wiki I thought "good work!", so please don't
think I do not appreciate your contributions, really I do, but ... (that has al
already been said).
Talking about the Fedora 7 Faq, each time I want to reference it I type "Fedora
7 Faq" in google, as I can't find it through the wiki. Maybe there should be a
link on the frontpage, or atleast under the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ
page, as that is were you go if you press the FAQs link on the mainpage.
