Hi everyone! Let's get right to business.
I've got a request for a
project-level decision. Up through and including Fedora 20,
http://start.fedoraproject.org/
was the default home page in Firefox.
At a community member's suggestion, that was change to be
"about:newtab" in Rawhide, and inherited into F21.
Fedora Magazine is actually getting quite a bit of traffic
from
start.fpo, which means someone saw a headline there and
clicked.
Generating magazine traffic is good, but even more
importantly, this is
one of our key channels of communication to users. I talked to
the
Fedora Marketing and websites teams and there was broad
consensus that
we should go back to
http://start.fedoraproject.org/.
Allan Day, who
filed the original request to change.
Martin Stransky, the package maintainer, doesn't want to be
changing
back and forth based on whoever filed a bug last, and asks for
a
decision by Fedora governance.
I guess my own opinion is clear — I think putting it to the
Fedora page
is best for the project. Because this change only affects the
defaults
set the first time someone opens Firefox in a new profile,
it'd be nice
to have this set by the F21 release — even though we're well
into
freeze territory, so that ship has probably sailed. Do we have
quick
consensus to make the change now? (If not, we'll figure out a
longer-term solution for F22.)
