Carrying all the languages we'd need to make that a good solution would knock other stuff off the already cramped space. However, we should link to the IG from the site where the Live Image is downloaded. People can download a copy to read offsite, or read it off the Web. I've already made a note on my draft for the new download workflow, at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields/Drafts/NewGetFedora . And of course, whether we link or provide it directly probably doesn't impact whether people actually *read* it. -- Paul W.
