    So you're wondering what's up with Fedora Extras these days. We have an
    announcement to make.

    <Sopwith> So what should I put in the announcement?
    <|Jef|> Sopwith: that we are all deeply deeply ashamed for the delay and
    we throw ourselves on the mercy of the community and ask for forgiveness

    Thanks to the efforts of all the Extras contributors, you can now get
    Fedora Extras packages from the main Fedora download site at
    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/

    Fedora Extras are sets of packages that augment Fedora Core but do not
    replace Fedora Core component packages. These packages, like all packages
    that are part of The Fedora Project, must conform to the legal
    requirements of the project and conform to the Fedora Extras policies.

    Examples of packages currently available in Fedora Extras include:
            bittorrent cfengine gqview jikes libsigc++ openslp rxvt sqlite
            starfighter zope
    with a total of over 500 packages available!

    The fedora-extras-list
    (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list/) is the best
    place to discuss Extras.

    If you'd like to start becoming involved with Extras development, a good
    step beyond joining fedora-extras-list might be
    http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/extras.shtml

    <mschwendt> Sopwith: bug reports via bugzilla.redhat.com, not
    bugzilla.fedora.us

    Please remember to report bugs at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ Use
    a Product of "Fedora Extras".

    Seth Vidal deserves special recognition for continuing to be the engine
    behind getting builds done and organized through the fedoraproject.org
    site.

    And thanks to you all for being part of Fedora!
