I really don't know. It seems Fedora is not that popular a distro, or that Inkscape devs just happen not to use it! If I can't get a binary then I will focus on compiling it - it's a last resort for me!
Here are two things: indeed, Inkscape developers tend to prefer other distros and FC3 is really old, Fedora Extras has packages for both FC4 and FC5.
PS - is the www.inkscapeforums.com part of inkscape or an indie website, because I reckon there should be a link from inkscape.com to the forum, for a lot of people forums are very good ways of solving problems and storing solutions. I found the blender forums instrumental in learning Blender for example. A wiki somehow does not encourage the same level of discussion, I don't know why.
Yes, the forum is run by the Inkscape community and should be linked from the website but you will find the developers prefer to use jabber/irc and mailing lists.
