We should probably have expanded and said KDE Special Interest Group or
just Fedora KDE team and avoided the jargon.
Fair enough.

If we are using this release to estimate interest in jidgo, one
important consideration is that we haven't published good official
documentation on how to use this. The tools involved are not very user
friendly to understand the process without documentation either.
This sounds like something that should appear in formal documentation,
with a link from the fp.o/get-fedora and fp.o/get-prerelease pages.
Just needs someone to write it. All hands here seem fully committed
these days, but yet we have hundreds of subscribers here, of whom a
couple might like to cut their teeth on a simple document like this.
The Fedora Unity guys have used Jigdo for a while, and Bob Jensen has
people working on the Installation Guide already -- maybe one or two
people from FU can consider drafting a Jigdo tutorial; shouldn't need
more than a couple sections to address the average user's needs,
considering that if they're using jigdo, they're already Linux users and
not people new to the concepts.
