I think "missing" is probably not the right word, since a lot of people
spend a *LOT* of time editing the wiki and making sure it has lots of
good, updated information available.  With the release of Fedora Core 5,
and the upcoming Core 6, the default Web browser bookmarks even include
helpful links such as going directly to the wiki.

We are working on a new "front page" that would be delivered into the
Web browser to make the navigation even easier.  If you want to get
involved, you can contact one of our contributors, Bob Jensen, who has
committed to getting that particular work off the ground:

Maybe just the last couple of months would be enough to get an idea of
where we are.  Even on a lower-traffic list like ours, that's a lot of
reading!  Don't let it keep you from making some real contributions,
though, there's plenty of work to go around here. :-)  Welcome!
