Hi folks,

So this idea came up in the netinstall download info thread [1], although I have been thinking offhand for a while it might be a good idea for other reasons (eg enabling testers to find the test images more easily - every time I need to find a test image I can never find it. :) )

I'd like to mock something up so we can visualize what this would look like and if it would work, but I'm not 100% sure all of the downloadtypes we'd want on there. I think the primary things listed on the site should be those that are not featured on the main websites - they are not editions, spins, or labs (although we can link out to those sites.)

To be able to mock this up though, I need to figure out what downloads should be featured on the site, and we should probably talk about their relative merits / use cases. Here is a (perhaps not exhaustive) list of things we could list on this page:

- Netinstall ISOs (so these are built for specific editions, but this is the one exception to featuring things not normally featured I think would be a good idea)

- the minimal fedora image (it doesn't seem to have a home now?)

- docker containers

- Bittorrent torrent files (could just be a link to refer to torrent.fpo)

- Alternative architecture downloads

  - Digging out dl.fpo / download.fpo / alt.fpo I found x86, aarch64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, and s390 images.

- boot.fpo images

- testing images
  - nightlies
  - alpha / beta / tc / rc images

- archival images (could just point to archive.fpo)

- the everything DVD that lets you choose a desktop in syslinux that we hand out at conferences (does this still exist?)

Am I forgetting anything?

Yeah I'm quite fine with all of them, maybe we can also add the Multi-DVD image [1], which is not available elsewhere and we could also add the respins [2] of the actual edition images, as they are not official images but people spend a lot of time to make them adding the latest packages and avoiding so the 500-600MB update you need to do when downloading for example the F22 workstation image now (there are direct downloads and torrent files too).
