fedora.next, ideas for the websites

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
I know it's rather early, but the WG decisions are going more concrete
every week, so we could start to collect ideas of how to make the
websites look like and what would be the best solution to keep the
pages user-friendly, clear and informative at the same time. Once we
have something to work on, we can open a specific trac ticket to start
coding.
It's also clear we depend on the marketing and design team, this means
the earlier we have some ideas the better, because we can speak to
them in time.
The actual status, and for F21 we shouldn't have any surprises, is
about 3 products:
* Workstation
* Server
* Cloud
All of them have the same Core and will be released at the same date
(for F21). We need also to give all of these products the same
importance.

Pages affected by this change are mainly:
index, get-fedora, get-fedora-all, verify, get-prerelease.
If we look at it farther, we should also change the splash pages and
the using and features pages (here we need marketing).

The work for F21 Alpha (if we definitely use the new release cycle) is
limited to the get-prerelease and verify page. There should be also a
few adjustments on the index, IMHO.
But the work on the get-prerelease page surely will give us the
direction on how to present the three products, so it's rather
important because it will be reflected afterwards in the get-fedora
page (for final release).

Personally I'd see a three column layout for the three products, this
should work as entry page and once the user select the product he is
interested in, he will be redirected to the specific page where he'll
find also the download button. This can be a tab within the same page
or a new page, I'd prefer a tab as it's much faster.
I have already some doubts we need to figure out asap:
What's with spins? Will we still have separated images? It seems not,
but I may be totally wrong here...for all these doubts we need to have
as many informations as possible from the WG, and FESCo filed an
activity report to keep track of the decisions [1].

If you have any ideas or addtions to this please add them, this topic
should work as brainstorming and news-collector, in order to not
forget anything important when rewriting the pages.
