Wow. This is fantastic, Mark - thanks to you and Hiemanshu for taking
the time to go out and get a ton of data! Comments inline.

- fedora main site
-- "I've been able to find everything I need on the websites."
I wonder how experienced this user was. :)
User 5
- fedora main site
-- posibly more of a note that its based on the comercial Red Hat distro
...hm, that's a thought, if somewhat backwards - if anything, RHEL is
based on Fedora, not the other way around (as I understand it, anyway) -
not sure how the current way of showing the Fedora <--> Red Hat
connection was chosen (it's currently in a tiny little sponsorship-note
footer at the bottom of http://fedoraproject.org/) but I'm sure there's
a good reason for it.
User 6
- fedora main site
-- if I'm new to linux and need help, do I click docs, wiki, get help, or what?

- get.fp.o
-- and it lacks consistancy
-- if you have several options, display them in a consistent manner
-->that page has a couple different options in the middle, other
options in a different style on the right (well, i think they are
different) and then other, alternat eoptions at the bottom
-->could it not list all the options in one consistant list,
explaining what each is, with the different download options?
Man, this person gives good, concrete feedback.
- fedora main site
-- and it should probably have a better link text
-- I mean, imagine reading it; Get Fedora 11 Desktop Edition Now
INSTALLABLE LIVE CD!
YES
-- one last thing; the layout breaks on a small viewport (4-500px wide)
-- should have some minimal width limiter

Great point - do we have any heuristics that we're evaluating our sites
against, any standard tests we run for sanity? (Making sure it works on
a certain list of screen sizes, a certain set of browsers, that kind of
thing?)
-- if i didn't know what fedora is i wouldn't immediately know what it was
This is *incredibly* important.
-- most people who visit your site won't want a tour. They want a
download link.
Really? I wonder if there is a good way we can empirically prove this.
