Thanks (I think, separate on-topic response to follow)! I never knew it 
existed. Several things about Fedora 'conspired' to impede its discovery:

1-most test mailing list posts presume all readers know all the cryptic terms 
like koji, alt, lkrn, bfo, etc. I don't know them all, and tend to delete 
without reading those that include the the ones I don't recognize in their 
subject lines.

2-no search boxes at the tops of *fedoraproject.org* pages

3-maze of subdomains:
	admin.fedoraproject.org
	alt.fedoraproject.org
	boot.fedoraproject.org
	bugz.fedoraproject.org
	docs.fedoraproject.org
	download.fedoraproject.org
	fedoraproject.org
	fedoraproject.org/wiki
	koji.fedoraproject.org
	kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org
	lists.fedoraproject.org
	mirrors.fedoraproject.org

    Some prefixes are widely used elsewhere. Some on their faces make sense. 
But without an obvious and easy to find catalog, trying to find what probably 
or obviously should be there somewhere compounds the gobbling of my time 
described following.

4-I filed a bug (still unfixed) 19 months ago about this: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638726 Like most of the web, 
*fedoraproject.org is styled to be hard to use, with pale, tiny type 
pervading. This problem I did something more about this morning. Others may 
find it useful if using a browser that can use user stylesheets to override 
rude, naive and/or stupid CSS: http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/fedoraprojectorg.css 
[1] The problem with this is it only works on a per browser basis. Those who 
use more than one either have to limit to using only one browser to project 
access, or apply it to all that might ever or each in turn as required. In 
the Geckos, applying requires browser restart.
