Hi!

David, thx for taking care of the page. A few notes for general discussion:

Not important, just a BTW: In the MoinMoin days in Fedora we had a "You 
have to use Real Names for Wikinames" rule. I don't think we should 
enforce this, but I'd say it makes life a whole lot easier...

That's quite a lot to type and easy to get wrong. I'm wondering if we 
should set up URL aliases somewhere to make life easier for everyone 
that wants to use RPM Fusion in anaconda.

Example:

http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/alias?f9u-i386-free
(or something like that= could redirect to
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released-9&arch=i386

Jeremy did some changes to anaconda; hopefully the release packages get 
tracked in by default now in F10 and later; I did not find time to test 
this yet. Anybody interested to drive this forward?
