Okay, so, there is a rather big fork in the road ahead of us. I mean, not that we can't take one path and then find out if its wrong, but, better not to. That is: part of the Fedora.next process has been working on going from the "default offering" to three distinct Fedora products -- Cloud, Server, Workstation. Three is a magic number, of course. It's a natural split, and it's kind of easy to see how promotion and the web site would work with that. There is a discussion now about possible procedures for creating more in the future: see <https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1197>. There are basically two camps. Well, there's a third -- that we should have no default anything and that we should just be a (well-made) source of building supplies -- but I'm pretty strongly sold on at least offering *kits* for our users. So, the two camps are basically: * "High bar, need to show a distinct problem space". The three initial products are basically all areas we want to cover, and they don't really overlap. This approach says that for a new primary product to be added, there should be a new, separate problem space to tackle -- there shouldn't be internal competition, and users should easily find the product that matches their needs without going through a "choose your own adventure!" process. * "Low bar, need to show viable resources to do the work". The idea here is that if someone wants to contribute to working on something in Fedora, and can demonstrate that they can pull it off, we should promote it. I think this camp recognizes that it makes the web site more complicated, but judges supporting our contributors to be more important. So, marketing team people: what do you think? Which is the right general approach? If we do the second thing, does it dilute our ability to deliver the Fedora Message? How can we overcome that? Other questions? Other answers?
