Article Summary: Fedora is jumping on the RISC-V train as its fifth architecture, and while it’s not front and center, we’ve still got support for various pieces of hardware people may wish to use with Fedora. RISC-V is open-source and all about freedom, which fits right in with Fedora’s goals of embracing new tech and keeping things diverse.
Article Description: Fedora’s given RISC-V the nod as its fifth architecture alongside the usual suspects like x86 and ARM. While it’s not ready to join its siblings with Official support, RISC-V has got some serious potential for developers and users wanting to mix things up and be on the bleeding edge of hardware support in Linux. This article gives a bit of a history lesson on RISC-V, its’ roots in open-source, and what it means for our Fedora users and developers alike.

Ready for review!

With a quick skim, this looks good to me. The only mistake I spotted was the following:
In the RISC-V Special Interest Group (SIG), the been focus has been on ...
Whoops :) great catch

@neal In the section "Fedora’s Journey with RISC-V" there is what appears to be a footnote indicator in "...(see Fedora Architectures [1]for details),..." Was there to be a link or footnote associated with that?
I've added a featured image. Let me know if it is appropriate or if you have an alternative in mind.

Yep. I've fixed that up. It was supposed to go to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/architecture/.
I was editing the post outside of the wordpress editor with the SIG members and was using footnotes to track where I was placing which links.
The featured image looks excellent :) Thank you
Aaggh. @neal I found another possible link. Under the "Additional Hardware" section:
"You can check out the SpacemiT Fedora Install Guide[8] if that sounds like you."
I think (hope) that is the last one. If you can correct/edit that I think we can get it published tomorrow.
This is what I get for rushing! :P
I've fixed that one and searched through for others and I agree we're clear, now
We're ready to go. I've scheduled publication for 19 February 08:00 UTC.
Thanks for your contribution to the Fedora Magazine (and patience through the editing process :smirk: )

Thank you very much for your support. This was a breeze :)

@rlengland - It looks like I messed up a couple links. Is that something you could help me fix?
"Fedora Architectures" in the first paragraph of "Fedora’s Journey with RISC-V" should go to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures
and "Installation Guide" underneath "Installation Instructions" should link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing
And.. another one (sorry!)
In the "Supported Hardware" list under 'QEMU', the "Fedora RISC-V QEMU Guide" should link to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/QEMU
No problem. The three links have been updated.
