Yes!

Here is my list of FAQ's, but without good answers.  If anyone can supply
answers, I'll get them on the web site asap.

* What is the errata policy for The Fedora Legacy Project?
* What version of RHL/FC are supported?
* What architectures are supported?
* How do I update packages?
* How do I get notifications about new updates when they become available?
* Where can I get more info on apt/yum?

Jesse if you want direct access to the web site CVS.  Otherwise you can send
submissions to me directly and I'll put them in CVS.

The site was just updated this morning, so check it out again if you haven't.

> We need to get some guidelines (read docs) together for Publishing a package.

Yes!

If no one else does, I'll try to "steal" the fedora pages and add them to
our web site.  We can refine from there.  I should be able to get to this
later today if no one else does.

Interesting.  Best summary of this I've seen yet.

Anyone interested in posting the IRC logs on the web?  Might be interesting
for those of us who don't IRC to be able to browse the logs...
