#334: We need a redesign for start.fedoraproject.org ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: elad | Owner: nobody Type: mockup request | Status: new Priority: major | Component: Interaction Design / Usability Severity: Moderately | Keywords: Involved | Blocking: Blocked By: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Hello.

start.fedoraproject.org doesn't look so good.

See these threads on the Websites and Desktop lists:

* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/websites/2014-August/012390.html * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2014-August/010265.html

They list all the problems with the current design.

People have also thrown ideas at me here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110933625728671692704/posts/1Ya2WeBbZvu

I'll be more than happy to implement a better design for that page. I know I'm doing this a bit too late in the cycle, but I really don't want to ship F21 with the current start.fpo still being the default homepage, so if we can't re-design it in time I'd ask browser packagers in Fedora to switch to something else (be it the Fedora project website, wikipedia, or in the case of firefox about:home).

Comment (by duffy):

We just discussed this in IRC and determined the best short-term fix is to switch the planet Fedora feed over to Fedora Magazine (much more moderated / vetted content with a more user-centric focus) and long-term to upgrade the page design with the www.fpo redo.

That's a great idea. It also doesn't hurt that it could drive some additional traffic to the site.

Yep, it's a fantastic idea. I replaced the feed and made some other minor tweaks in the f21-start.fpo branch.

Another thing I would be interested in is replacing the announcement feed on the top left with some call to action to contribute. If anyone have more ideas on other minor tweaks, I'd love to hear them.

I think that maybe the page needs to look a little less simplistic. Maybe we need a background image?

For the record, as I said on IRC:

This looks fantastic. I'll do my best to get this implemented in time for GA!

Ok I worked on this and build it in staging.

https://start.stg.fedoraproject.org

We don't have any category there to display the icon.png of the single posts, but we could talk to magazine guys to use tags. Anyway, all the rest is working and the page should be responsive too. Please let me know if you have improvements or suggestions.

For example, I'd need an SVG of the fmag-ribbon.png as the one I used is not neat enough.

I will try to add the featured images too, just need to test some new code in fedmag in order to have them in the feed too.

'''NOTE''': firefox 35.0.3, which reverts the default page to start.fpo, is going to be pushed to stable today, so IMO it would be nice to have the new page running in production. We could add the images the next days if that's ok.

Robyduck,

from a design ticket point of view, can we mark this one as fixed since we are pushing to stable?
