I have seen the site.  I agree it isn't perfect and to restate my 
point.  How does the new user know about this site?  This is the idea 
behind a link to these types of readme's.

How about a list of them in default bookmarks in the various browsers. 
 Actually this could be a RFE.  A set of bookmarks to various Fedora 
sites and howto's.  Hum.
