I see some typos in a wiki page. I stop what I'm doing for a few
minutes, login to the wiki, fix the page, log out and go back to what
I was doing. Did anyone ever see the change I made? I don't know. Why
did I do it? Because I want to make our little corner of the world
better.

Lots of ways we contribute to Fedora and other projects seem to go
unnoticed. We aren't thanked, often we our efforts aren't acknowledged
in any way. In your case we hope that perhaps it was transfered
without comment upstream where it was fixed later. Why do we continue
contributing? Maybe we get some personal satisfaction from trying to
help. Maybe we just care about making things better and this is what
we can do today.

Don't be discouraged. Every bug reported is a bug that can get fixed.
You made that possible.

And we as a project really do appreciate your bug reports and your
wiki edits and your helping other people on our mailing lists.
