Comment (by duffy):

 Ryan has been thinking about how we might approach Fedora.next with the
 websites and me and him had a whiteboard session late last week to
 brainstorm some ideas. We shared our ideas with mattdm yesterday and he
 seemed to think the approach was a good one, so I drew up this diagram
 last night to illustrate some of our whiteboard ideas:

 [[Image(fedora-next-web_proposal-draft1.png)]]

 Some random thoughts to clarify the proposal:

 - We were initially thinking remaking www.fedoraproject.org into the
 contributor hub. Then we worried about how we would redirect old links
 from docs, articles, etc. Matthew pointed out how mozilla.org slowly over
 time transitioned firefox stuff to getfirefox.com. We could do something
 like that and have the www.fedoraproject.org full domain point to the
 community hub, which i think would be more desirable.

 - When you first visit the community hub, we were thinking you wouldn't
 get any content unless you were logged in... kind of how twitter or
 facebook behave when you're logged out. This would free up a lot of space
 to help the fedoraproject.org transition from being the general site to a
 commnunity hub / contributor-focused site.

 - what would happen to join.fpo? We'd integrate some of the FAS
 functionality into the contributor hub, so we'd have a new user onboarding
 workflow there that would set them up with a new fas account and walk them
 through applying to groups, etc. we'd like to handle password resets and
 group join requests with this too and leave fas more for group maintainers
 to use to manage their groups maybe.

 - Re: the visual design in this proposal - none of this is anywhere near
 what we'd want things to look like. The little mockups are more to give
 you a sense of the general tone of the sites based on the inspiration
 sites we listed. We're looking at reddit as a model of how to organize the
 difference spaces in the hub - but unlike the reddit model, we were
 thinking each of the hubs could have a different custom feel - e.g., the
 design hub would be more graphics-focused, the developer hub might be more
 data-focused, ambassadors may have a map and calendar, etc. So this
 diagram is meant to illustrate that more than propose any sort of look and
 feel.

 - We're hoping with the new architecture bits we have in fedora infra now
 like fedmsg we can keep these hub sites dynamic and engaging by pulling
 data down from the bus.

 - We're also hoping to integrate these hubs with hyperkitty to make
 discussions on mailing lists more accessible.

 - Matthew mentioned one of our current issues in collaboration across
 groups - having to cross post messages to multiple mailing lists /
 multiple team locations. We thought we could maybe have a model in the
 community hub where you could break out a new hub space (the same way you
 can break out a new subreddit on reddit) that are project-focused to help
 allay that issue. Just a thought.

 Okay, hope this makes sense. What do you think?
