Websites Team,
There's been a thread going on in fedora-list regarding our transition
to fedoraproject.org. It brings up an excellent point. Except among
ourselves, we have done a poor job of advertising what we are doing to
the rest of the community. Although more and more resources are
becoming available on fedoraproject.org, and more links are pointing to
it, we haven't done much to tell people that we are now focusing on
fedoraproject.org. With our recent revamp of fedora.redhat.com, we
removed a great deal of content and left little more than a basic set of
pages in place, but we didn't directly tell users where the information
had gone. Many of the links there do now point to fedoraproject.org,
but there's no explicit declaration of what is happening. I'd love to
hear suggestions about how we can best remedy this oversight.
The immediate thing to do is to add a highlighted note to the frontpage
of http://fedora.redhat.com . It can read as " We are currently in the
process of evaluating a transition of this website into
http://fedoraproject.org. http://fedoraproject.org is a community
website thats being revamped and more content is being actively added to
it on a regular basis. Users are recommended to visit this website for
other regular updates. Discussions about a new content management system
to host our updated infrastructure among other details is in progress in
fedora-websites-list [link] and #fedora-websites freenode IRC channel
[link]. If you are interested in taking part in these discussions take a
look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites, subscribe and post to
the fedora-websites mailing list{link]. Thank you for your interest in
the Fedora Project "
I suppose this accurately reflects our position now. Other than that
there has been a few missing links and some content that could be added
or modified. I will provide a list or file bugs appropriately
