=== Clarification request ===
"  Snapshot packages
 
If a snapshot package is considered a "pre-release package", you should follow the guidelines listed in Pre-Release Packages , and use an %{alphatag} beginning with the date in YYYYMMDD format and followed by up to 16 (ASCII) alphanumeric characters of your choosing."
 
Is there a minimum number of alphatag chars ?
Would 2 be a good minimum eg: fits hg
 
Suggest change to:
"followed by between 2 and 16 (ASCII) alphanumeric characters of your choosing."

Sorry for the confusion -- no one watches the talk pages actively. Please do not use the discussion page to try to get changes to the guidelines approved.

Do this instead:

  1. Add a page to the wiki normally with your proposed changes. It's best if your page makes clear what's being changed. In some cases, that means starting by copying the original text in. Then modifying it in subsequent saves (so that people can use the history function to see the changes). Other times, it's enough to simply point out which pieces of text you're changed.
  2. Go to https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ and login
  3. Enter a ticket for the FPC to review the new guideline. Include a link to the wiki page with your proposed change as well as information you don't have on the page that you think is relevant.

The FPC members receive email from the ticketing system so sometimes it pays to repeat some of the information from your wiki page if you think that it will help people to look at and start forming questions about your change prior to going to an FPC meeting.
