= Proposed System Wide Change: LiveUserCreator as Primary Downloadable = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable Change owner(s): * Jiri Eischmann <eischmann AT redhat DOT com > * Martin Briza The new Fedora Liver USB Creator that is being finished has an overhauled, more user friendly interface. Because USB sticks are the most common way to install Fedora, it should be the primary download option. It cover the whole installation media creation, it lets the user pick the right flavor of Fedora, downloads its image, and copies it to a USB drive. == Detailed Description == Fedora Live USB Creator is getting a facelift that should make it much easier to use (see mockups). It should cover the complete work flow of creating an installation media. It provides information (descriptions, screenshots,...) about flavors and variants of Fedora to help the user to pick the right one for their usage, downloads the ISO, and copies it to a USB flash disk. The goal of this change is to provide this tool as the primary download option on getfedora.org and create a mechanism to store and update information (descriptions, screenshots,...) for the tool. This requires work not only from the change owners, but also from other groups (websites, design, marketing, releng teams). == Scope == Proposal owners: * Live USB Creator for Linux (pretty much ready, currently packaged for Fedora in Copr, should we create a deb package, too?) * Live USB Creator for Windows (pretty much ready, we just need to get a signing key) * Live USB Creator for Mac OS X (still in progress, should be ready for F24 release) Other developers: * the websites team has to update the download page to make LUC the primary download option. Marketing and design: * the design team has to work with websites team on necessary changes to the download page. * the marketing has to provide information for LUC including descriptions and screenshots (screenshots of Workstation are currently missing) QA: * adjust tests and test result matrices Release engineering: * not sure what's required from them Policies and guidelines: * The live-usb-creator tool is helping with new installations. Existing installations are not affected.
