We need to make it AMAZINGLY EASY for the 90% of the users who are
going to show up at fedoraproject.org on release day looking for the
x86 Live CD or the x86 Installable DVD.
I know that spins.fedoraproject.org exists basically to solve this
very problem. But from what I understand that isn't quite ready for
release day, and so we need a stopgap measure.
spins.fedoraproject.org shouldn't really be for the normal case -- it's
more for the "we have way too many choices, let's put the less common
ones somewhere where they're less likely to be confusing to the new user
who just wants 'Fedora'". And also to give a better way of navigating
all of our options than the large-ish table at
torrent.fedoraproject.org :-)
We actually did a great deal of work on making it easier to download
Fedora. We're down to 2 clicks this time (though you don't see that on
the Fedora 7 page right now) After clicking on "Get Fedora" they get
this page:
http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/web/en/get-fedora.html
This looks great. The difference between which ones are CD vs DVD images
is now clear. However we seem to have dropped the simple wording of what
i386 (which really should be just x86) or x86_64 or PPC means for the
non-technical users, Perhaps we should guide them towards x86 arch by
default?
It's also missing the fact that there's a PPC Desktop live image. Also,
the fact that the live images are installable is very important and yet
very non-obvious from this page :( From what's there, I'd get the
impression that if I'm wanting to install, my only choice is the Install
DVD.
We can add the live PPC image without issue for both of those PPC users ;-)
/me adds it now
