NOTE: Followup set to fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx

Fedora Weekly News, in association with the Fedora Documentation
Project, is soon to start a new regular column devoted to giving answers
to common user problems.  The result would be similar to "Ask Shadowman"
in Red Hat Magazine -- somewhat like a weekly FAQ, with the significant
difference being that it's completely Fedora-centric, and we have the
ability to be a bit more current through dipping into the input stream
in real time.

Sorry I couldnt respond to this while the earlier discussion came up but if we are starting a column, we should be expanding the scope of it a bit more. "Ask Shadowman" is useful because it doesnt limit the column to merely tech support questions. We can ask things like say " Why should I switch from Slackware to one of the Red Hat products" and still get an answer.

So in my opinion we are better off renaming the column as "Ask Fedora" or something like that and let the community ask whatever they want to. I was about to start my own blog series (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/008505.html) or 108 community "Ask Rahul" and get all the glory but I will sacrifice that now for the greater cause.
