Fedora Resources

[Corey Taylor]

Or adding to my previous post, perhaps the mailing list archive search
interface could be improved and made to look more like a knowledge base
type interface. So many obscure things have been solved on this list,
that by improving the search interface to the list it unlocks and makes
a lot of pertinent information much more accessible. For example, one
easy improvement to make would be to put a link directly to the search
inteface at: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/. So on the page
where the mailing lists are listed
(http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/) there should be a
direct link to the archive search interface. For example:

fedora-list - For users of Fedora Core releases | Search Archives for
Solutions | Join Archive

So, instead of just linking "fedora-list". Perhaps we could add
additional, clearly-labeled links. But adding a "Search Archives for
Solutions" type link, this makes it clear to unfamiliar users that the
mailing list is a great place to find solutions to obscure problems.
This tweak alone could improve things a lot for people looking for help.
Since the info is already there, it just needs to be revealed in more
efficient ways.
