I've probably spent a lot more time discussing front page real estate on the website than most people in Fedora. Check this out: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/ Those 17 mockups of the main download page are just a fraction of the mockups and hours of discussion on IRC and mailing lists. With limited design resources is this the best way to be expending design time & effort? I'd personally rather work on things where I don't get accused of hubris and secret hidden evil intentions. > I believe that there are creative ways of making it clear that there > is One Approved Choice for the novice, while at the same time doing > more to celebrate some of our other spins.

That's why we have a www.fedoraproject.org geared towards the novice, and spins.fedoraproject.org as more of an r&d-look-at-the-other-cool-things-fedora-can-do sort of space. We actually designed, developed, and launched spins.fedoraproject.org a full two releases before the new www.fedoraproject.org specifically to avoid the spins feeling outed. A lot of time, effort, and love went into both of those designs, but I can't force the spins owners to take advantage of what we built with & for them there. > Can we have that conversation without characterizing it as "a > choose-your-own adventure clubhouse type of affair"? When people stop telling me that large classes of users 'have no business' using Linux I will stop referring to them specifically as clubhousers.
