Hi everyone! Let's get right to business. I've got a request for a project-level decision. Up through and including Fedora 20, http://start.fedoraproject.org/ was the default home page in Firefox. At a community member's suggestion, that was change to be "about:newtab" in Rawhide, and inherited into F21. Fedora Magazine is actually getting quite a bit of traffic from start.fpo, which means someone saw a headline there and clicked. Generating magazine traffic is good, but even more importantly, this is one of our key channels of communication to users. I talked to the Fedora Marketing and websites teams and there was broad consensus that we should go back to http://start.fedoraproject.org/. Allan Day, who filed the original request to change. Martin Stransky, the package maintainer, doesn't want to be changing back and forth based on whoever filed a bug last, and asks for a decision by Fedora governance. I guess my own opinion is clear — I think putting it to the Fedora page is best for the project. Because this change only affects the defaults set the first time someone opens Firefox in a new profile, it'd be nice to have this set by the F21 release — even though we're well into freeze territory, so that ship has probably sailed. Do we have quick consensus to make the change now? (If not, we'll figure out a longer-term solution for F22.) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Fedora Project Leader mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://fedoraproject.org/> _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss
