For the Fedora 7 release, we are going to be using a static set of pages for the front of fedoraproject.org. For those of you who remember the Fedora Core 6 release and how hammered the Wiki was, you'll be happy that we can rest a bit easier for the coming release. Here is a *mock-up* using current styling, based on some existing conversations (source image below[1]); it is put forth for discussion on this list: http://people.redhat.com/~kwade/fedora/websites/images/main-page-redesign-0.1.png Really, it's just a starting point for conversation. I expect all ya'll to speak up. :) We'll either deliver this as a hand-built static set of pages, or we'll use our spankin' new Plone instance[2] to output it. Doing the latter is useful because we simultaneously work up our CSS for Plone. The static set of pages are: Main page |=> Download via torrent |=> Download from a mirror |=> Fedora for end-users |=> Fedora for developers \=> Join Fedora The only other links on the page are: [Docs] => docs.fedoraproject.org [Wiki] => fedoraproject.org/wiki (or wiki.fedoraproject.org?) Legal => fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal Trademark Guidelines => http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines That is a reduction from 66 links (current front page) to 9. The page we design or some variant of it can become the permanent front-page for fedoraproject.org. In that case, we'll work from the set of redesign ideas from FUDCon[3], and in that scenario the links on the page actually *reduce* to: Main page |=> I want to do stuff with Fedora |=> I want to get Fedora and stuff |=> I want to join Fedora |=> Legal |=> Usage Policy \=> Trademark Guidelines Something like that. :) - Karsten [1] Source GIMP file: http://people.redhat.com/~kwade/fedora/websites/images/main-page-redesign-0.1.xcf [2] http://fedoraproject.org/fedora/ is a Plone instance that, for technical reasons, doesn't have full auth for everyone. It is where we are going to build out the design for the new pages.
