Do you use Fedora’s documentation at docs.fedoraproject.org? How often? How do you get there – do you visit it directly, link from fedoraproject.org, or link from somewhere else? Why do you go to docs.fpo? (Looking to solve a specific problem, looking to learn more in general about a specific part of Fedora, etc.) What do …
lkundrak is my hero!
Following some of the link treatment discussions in my blog earlier, I found we needed a little 16×16 icon to represent FAS in Fedora Community so I whipped one out today.

(8-bit graphics look really funkified. More info on the syslinux graphics specs are available in the depths of the art team wiki pages.) I noticed today …
I’ve been working a *lot* on the Fedora Community project lately. I’ve been performing a very lightweight heuristic evaluation of the interface so far, and I ran into one issue that I’d like to address but I’m not 100% how to right now. The issue I’m struggling with right now been an annoyance for me …
