Hi Mairin, These mockups and plans look really nice, so a big thank you to you and Ryan for putting these together and pushing the website refresh for the Fedora.next launch forward.

I think that maybe the new model for the website that some of us have been working on might support this. E.g., we were thinking of an ultra-slim Fedora 'brochure' site where you could download Fedora and then a separate site as a 'community hub' for contributors, where everyone works together regardless of what product(s) or teams they might be involved with. The ultra-slim 'brochure' site could be one brochure per Fedora.next 'official' product and one per subcommunity product, or it could be one brochure with the three 'official' products and one per subcommunity product. The point here being, it's going to be a simple design and implementation so maybe as part of developing it we could provide templates so that any subcommunities wanting to spin off a product can snag the template, open up some tickets to have the design team create them custom artwork for it, and fill out the details pretty easily. This is the recent blog post I did outlining the basic idea we had for the new website: http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2014/04/01/a-proposal-for-fedoras-website-considering-fedora-next/ Does this make sense? Does it seem a workable model to support subcommunities better? Are there specifics about how we'd go about developing brochure site templates that would better support subcommunities? ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
