"This is a great hub for communication in the distribution and promises to add new features that will make it more useful to other non Package contributing groups in Fedora...I can very well see this becoming a portal for the average Fedora user to: Check forum replies to topic you create, Reporting bugs using the Bugzilla API (would make it far easier to report a bug), Search the Smolt DB for hardware that works on Fedora, Tracking Wiki discussions and pages you might be involved with. All that and so much more, this site has great potential."

Yes, the Sugar; the XO’s desk­top from Sugar Labs...Though named as child's desk­top envi­ron­ment, I found Sugar as easy as GNOME, as plas­mic as KDE and as light­weight as XFCE."
