Reading fast, answering faster: - Do we know yet that the Base won't be shipped as a product? I would see dev downloading base in order to install their own Fedora very specific (is ISO is made). - In the download area, I would see 3 column or one block and 2 column bellow. With the first (block or middle column) featuring the default download (which would stay Workstation, right?). With main info (dl{,direct,torrent,live} links). The other column would just be the explanation about the product (a name, a text, a picture). One would click on the column to hide the previous shown and display specific content. Then we would just have index (get fedora default) and get-fedora. There is no need anymore about get-fedora-all. That way, we strip out many entries to show smart and precise content. Also, we should matter about accessibility. And Javascript should be only about improving the general shape/beauty of our design. -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2 -- websites mailing list websites@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/websites
