Announcing Ask Fedora: Community Knowledge Base and Support Forum

As part of the release of Fedora 16 (Verne) today, I am proud to announce the launch of Ask Fedora at http://ask.fedoraproject.org.  Ask Fedora is a community knowledge base and support forum for the Fedora community. You can ask any questions related to Fedora and you do not need to a separate id to post questions or answer them.

You can use any openid to login including Google or Wordpress.  You can use your Fedora identity as well (fasname.id.fedoraproject.org). Refer to
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/22/how-do-i-use-my-fas-id-to-log-in-to-ask-fedora
for more details,

Ask Fedora is powered by Askbot (http://askbot.org), a Django based web application and upstream developers, especially Evgeny Fadeev,  Adolfo Fitoria, NoahY and several others have very helpful and deserve special credit for being very responsive, collaborating with us regularly by fixing bugs, adding features and reviewing changes.

The goal of Ask Fedora is to be the best place for community support in Fedora and integrate tightly with the rest of the Fedora infrastructure. Refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ask_fedora and get involved.  If you are a Python/ Django programmer, we would love to have your participation.  Join us!

Thanks to everyone who helped out including Prasad.J.Pandit (PJP), Kevin Fenzi, Toshio Ernie Kuratomi, Matthias Runge, Praveen Kumar,  Arun SAG,  Ratnadeep Debnath, Lakshmi Narasimhan, Jitesh Shah,  Sayan Chowdhury, Raghu Udiyar, Jishnu, Hrishi and Rag Sagar for helping in packaging, fixing bugs and implementing new features and setting up the infrastructure.  We couldn't have done without your enthusiastic participation.

Thanks Rahul for his announcement.
