Re: FM & FWN

Hi Jonathan --

Its great to see this up -- kudos! I am cc'ing the fedora-news-list
here as well, so they can also provide feedback. Responders: please
include both fedora-news-list and fedora-marketing-list in your
responses, to keep everyone in the discussion.

FWN tends to be a bit long, so if there is a way we could automate
building a pseudo table of contents like the wiki does, that would be a
great help. If this is not easy to do, if we could somehow distinguish
one beat from another, this would help break it up, perhaps adding a
<HR> at the end of each section, preceeding the next beat. Along these
lines, I might suggest that we widen the text area column, which will
reduce the length of the page, or select a theme that utilizes more of
the screen.

It looks like in some of the references, a tab has been inserted, moving
over the URL to the right? We can check to see if this is coming from
the source or if it is being introduced in the conversion, but this
should be corrected, as it looks sloppy. I think it is a paragraph rule
where the URL exceeds the first line length, since all of the URLs on
the page exhibiting this have longer URLs.

Thanks again, Jonathan! Its exciting to see this coming together!
