Hi guys,

mostly as UX-beginner I dare to propose the following changes on the Fedora Project homepage (http://fedoraproject.org):

* include a search field for wiki with proper text like:
    Search wiki pages: [________] [go]
  (well, ideally it would search for everything, like packages, builds, services, doc, wiki pages, ...; but I know it would need too much work)

* add one more link to the wiki somewhere more visible than only in the footer (I believe I'm not the only one who doesn't remember the wiki url and returns to the wiki very often through the homepage)

Regards,
Honza

Hi.

I don't think it's a good idea. The wiki is not for users, it's for contributors. Most of it will be really confusing for users.
We do have a link to the wiki near the header, it's called "Contributors" cause the wiki is for contributors.

A more prominent wiki link would probably fit as part of the new hub.fpo contributor hub idea.
 

Regarding search, there has been plans for years to have a search system for the entire fedora ecosystem, unfortunately nobody ever implemented that and I don't think anyone is working on that.
