So the alt downloads in the sidebar I thought you were talking about is different than spins.fpo and alt.fpo. The ones I thought you were talking about were, for example, the links to netinstall isos and local media vendors.
Spins.fpo and alt.fpo are very intentionally on different websites. The getfedora.orgpage is targeted at mainstream first time Fedora users, users we wouldnt want using a specific spin as part of their first experience bc they are less polished and not as supported as the editions that are featured prominently on getfedora.
So I guess my point is that these are not surface level website tweaks. The suggested tweaks belie a drastic change in strategy I am not comfortable with, esp without a lot more data and context.

This is certainly not critical, but I beleieve the thread of the conversation I had with Bex that making the spins and alt architectures easier to find might reduce the friction point a bit for people seeking to try out Fedora.However, I think your suggested solution is a very good idea. It would meet the goal we have to demonstrate different platform availability and seems less clunky than what I proposed. Could that be a possibility?Thanks,BrianOn Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 5:56 PM Máirín Duffy <duffy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Brian,
Thanks for the analysis and info!
For the alt download links - do we want or need to emphasize their availability? Is there more context for who needs these, how common a need that would be, etc? Bc a better solution could be - for example - upgrading a particular link from an alt link to a main download link if new circumstances require it.

Periodically, the Red Hat Open Source and Standards team looks at open source projects with which we are affiliated to see if there are community elements that can be improved. Fedora's review late last year went very well, and after some discussions with Brian Exelbierd, there were a couple of suggestions we wanted to make to your team to highlight key areas of Fedora. Specifically:
* Highlight the Alternate Downloads links. Currently on your Downloads pages, the Get more Fedora links are located on the lower-right corner of the page. Moving this section up the sidebar would emphasize the availability of these alternative versions of Fedora.
* Highlight the Project's governance content. The governance model for Fedora does exist[1], but it is not easy to find. Could a link be added to the About section in the site's footer?
Those were the only two things we had to suggest. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thanks,
Brian
