I have been trying to determine what really needs improvement and how that improvement can be achieved. I had some thoughts relating to http://fedoraproject.org and posted them to fedora-docs-list, and it was suggested that I send them here (fedora-marketing-list) instead. I have also sent this message to Seth Vidal. Below is an excerpt from my original post: I'm not sure how many people actually use this base URL, but it needs some loving. One idea that I had is that this URL could redirect to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ and that the Wiki's front page could feature all of the existing links, with a brief description. This would allow easier maintenance, and would automagically make the page more useful. With Red Hat announcing the creation of The Fedora Foundation, it seems like Fedora's information will eventually move away from fedora.redhat.com to its own domain. I don't know if this would be fedoraproject.org or something entirely different. If the migration is to fedoraproject.org, then my above suggestion would not create any problems. Simply removing the redirect and dropping content similar to fedora.redhat.com would be acceptable. The Wiki and the rest of the fedoraproject.org hierarchy would not conflict with the content currently at fedora.redhat.com, and links could be added to whatever main page is at the base URL to direct people to the current fedoraproject.org content. If anyone needs any clarification on my thinking, drop me a line.Here's what I think: I agree with you about the fedoraproject.org page needing to be more useful. Put together a prototype for the front page. I think doing it all exclusively in the wiki will result in a fairly ugly webpage but I'm open to give it a try. Set yourself up a wiki account, I'll give you privs to change a page and you make a 'newfrontpage' page and we'll work from there to see if it works. It's a good place to start and if it all looks well I'll do the leg work to turn it into the main page. sound cool? -sv
Sounds good to me. My wiki account is PatrickBarnes. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx www.n-man.com --
