The Fedora Project is a global partnership of free software community members.  The Fedora Project is sponsored by [//www.redhat.com/ Red Hat], which invests in our [[infrastructure]] and resources to encourage collaboration and incubate innovative new technologies.  Some of these technologies may later be integrated into Red Hat products. They are [[Red Hat contributions | developed in Fedora]] and produced under a [[Licensing | free and open source license]] from inception, so other free software communities and projects are free to study, adopt, and modify them.

This Wiki

Wikis can be many things — encyclopedias, workspaces, whiteboards, and more. While many great docs sites are built from wikis, we've discovered that mixing all of those things together really causes chaos. Our documentation resides on its own site and this wiki is strictly a contributor workspace.

If you're a Fedora user, you're welcome to browse around — see the subprojects menu at the top for some places to start.

Note that you'll need a Fedora account and to be in at least one Fedora subproject group on that account to make wiki edits.
