I noticed that in the release notes a URL to a bugzilla page is obfuscated with tinyurl. Imho it would be better to use a page on the wiki, that redirects users to the bugzilla page. I created an example page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TillMaas/ForwardTest You can see the used code, here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TillMaas/ForwardTest?action=edit&editor=text So if you like this idea, you only need to use above code on a well selected page in the wiki, e.g. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/BugillaFeedbackForm
Thanks for the idea; we just began exploring the #REFRESH directive, which does an actual <meta http-equiv="refresh"...>. I definitely see advantages in this approach: * Don't have to modify the URL each release (as we do in getting a new tinyurl) * Memorable URL * Relies upon tool that aren't likely to break or change in behavior However, I'm curious what made you think about this in the first place? That is, you refer to obfuscation, which has a negative connotation -- as if we are intentionally trying to hide something. Or is it just that tinyurl.com links are risky because you don't know where they go, even if you trust the source that wrote them?

I used obfuscation because one cannot see what is behind the tinurl link or whether or not one already knows this. E.g. when there would be instead a link to bugzilla I would know, what I can expect from the link and do not need to follow it. Also I get this information, when I am offline while reading the release notes. Additionally I saw the advantages of using the wiki or some other method and imho using tinyurl in a the release notes looks not very professional.
Mediawiki does not support this, therefore it needs to be solved some other way or kept as it is.
