We need to reduce visual clutter. My mockup is largely based on this one [2]. Those "help pandas" â are mainly intended for new users. The first thing users usually does after installing Fedora is opening the web browser, and those pandas are there to welcome them in a friendly way. I forgot to add it to the mockup, but we could provide a small X button that will hide them if the user no longer need them (who would want to do that?!). I think the pandas are awesome, but we could replace them with a "Help" link in the top (next to wiki | planet | documentation) if you don't agree with me. The pkgdb/wiki search is already implemented in my computer, but I'm not pushing it because it will make even more visual clutter, and I think we need to keep things clean and simple. Anyway it will need some server-side python "magic" to work without JS.
