A point made more visible here is that we had a redesign of both get.fpo<br>
and www.fpo planned to happen in conjunction with the spins.fpo website<br>
to ensure traffic was directed towards spins.fpo.<br>
<br>
Because of time and resource constraints during the F12 cycle, the<br>
spins.fpo site was implemented as a bit of an 'island' so the drivers to<br>
the site we'd had planned (banners on the main www.fpo site and get.fpo<br>
page) never happened. Whoops. (I assure you this was not due to malice,<br>
more many rushed, late nights and a failure on my part to plan out a<br>
proper plan B instead of leaving those threads to spins.fpo completely<br>
loose.)<br>
<br>
So I would like to propose that we make some extremely short-term<br>
changes to get.fpo right now, as we strive towards the full get.fpo [1]<br>
and www.fpo [2] redesigns that will drive traffic to and integrate with<br>
spins.fpo in the fashion we'd originally intended:<br>
<br>
- Where it says, 'KDE fans, go here!' on the current get.fpo, we replace<br>
that text with: 'Go to KDE and other spins!' and it will instead link to<br>
spins.fpo -<br>
<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora</a><br>
<br>
- On the buttom of the column of blue buttons on the right, we place the<br>
attached banner to link users over to spins.fpo<br>
<br>
Do these proposals seem a reasonable short-term solution while we wait<br>
on the full website revamp?<br>
