no, what i meant was a convenient place for people to read the notes
*without* having to locate a mirror or download the release or start
an install. the release notes for FC 2 are available online in a
prominent place:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/
why not the release notes for the latest beta as well? every time
there's a new release, inevitably, someone wants to know where to read
the release notes. why not make it easy for them?
if you check out
http://fedora.redhat.com/
there's a prominent section there entitled "Fedora Core 3 Test 2
Available". wouldn't it be useful to add a link to that paragraph to
the notes?
