So the changes I see in this mockup -- which, by the way, looks great -- are: * Removes the "internet connection" requirement * Moves the "other options" block up in the secondary information block * Removes the explanatory "what do I do with this?" block in the secondary information block * No more panda (awww.) This mockup still satisfies all the criteria we set out on the wiki through https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009, in that it provides: * One simple, clear download option for the majority of visitors * A clear route to our other options (e.g. spins hub) Something that might help keep the "Other options" area from overwhelming the download button area would be to relocate the panda. I think removing the "confused panda" is a good idea because it sends a subtle signal that there's just too much going on in the page, and maybe the user *should* be confused. I could see putting a confident, happy panda next to the download button with a sort of Vanna White pose, so a user who's not looking for other options won't feel like they're making a mistake by taking the obvious choice. (I'm recalling Barry Schwarz's TED Talk on the paradox of choice here.)
