Um, this thread is a bit of a mess now so I'm not sure where to post these so I figured at the top made sense. I'm sorry if I'm breaking 5 different mailing list etiquette rules here. :( I drew out a little site map roughly based on the whiteboard scribblin' stickster and I did earlier: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/wwwfpo_diagram.png I numbered the pages to hopefully make for easier discussion. Here's the current mockup for each page: 1) http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/page1.png 2) http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/page2.png 3) http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/spins-directory.6.png 4) no mockup yet 5) this is the actual ISO file 6) http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/page3.png 7) no mockup yet 8) no mockup yet 9) no mockup yet 10-13) mockup sorely out of date but: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Projects/Fedora% 20Spins/Wireframes/spindetailsmock4.png Let me tell you where I intend to go from here, in order: - I'm going to update the spins directory page (#3) to list the spins in order of popularity by default, and also let users tab over to view the spins in alpha order - I'm going to add a content block to the spins directory page to explain what a spin is and link out to other spin-related resources (e.g. wiki page on how to roll your own) - I'm going to use some of Toshio's suggestions for the get-fedora page (#2) and play around with the balance between the DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!111 option and the 'other options' option. I'll probably make a few iterations here and solicit your input. - I'm going to create an updated mockup for the spins details pages (10-13). - I'm going to solicit feedback for all of these by posting stuff to this list when it's done as well as making posts to Planet Fedora. - By next Friday I am hoping to close out the feedback period so I can crank out the rest of the work (which is hopefully less controversial) so I can get the websites team a solid set of mockups by Sept. 20 for the spins and by Sept. 27 for the FPO-related stuffs. - F12 comes out and the new site design comes out. Hopefully you don't all hate me at this point and we have a website that at least most if not everyone can be proud of (if not at least unashamed of. :) ) Peace! ~m (in 91+F degree weather in Boston with no A/C, please take pity!) _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
