What is the *current* place to get it? That page doesn't say, and

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Using_Fedora_Media_Writer_.28Windows_and_Fedora.2C_graphical.2C_destructive.29

links to https://github.com/lmacken/liveusb-creator/, which doesn't use
"Fedora Media Writer" anywhere, and so does not seem to be right.

WHat Matthew says is one of my concerns too, there is no documentation we can take to the website. As I didn't and don't follow this at all, we need someone to provide text for this change. We need to tell people how they have to use it and what they get exaclty. Otherwise people won't use it and will go directly to the old known ISO files, which we will keep on the website too.
Other issues we should discuss in a short meeting. Paul, is there a dodle somewhere? Or any proposals which are fine for all of us? I know it's always a mess bringing people from different timezones together, but we should not be so many, or?
Thanks for bringing this up here.

PS: it's optimistic to have it ready for Beta, IMHO, but never say never....
