no, what i meant was a convenient place for people to read the notes 
*without* having to locate a mirror or download the release or start 
an install.  the release notes for FC 2 are available online in a 
prominent place:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/

why not the release notes for the latest beta as well?  every time 
there's a new release, inevitably, someone wants to know where to read 
the release notes.  why not make it easy for them?

if you check out

http://fedora.redhat.com/

there's a prominent section there entitled "Fedora Core 3 Test 2 
Available".  wouldn't it be useful to add a link to that paragraph to 
the notes?
