I&#39;ve been sporadically working on Ransom Notes, which are basically banners for the &#39;captive&#39; audience of the installer, for a few months now. (For more information on the Ransom Note concept, look here: <a href="http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/09/16/fedora-design-bounty-installer-ransom-notes/">http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/09/16/fedora-design-bounty-installer-ransom-notes/</a> ) Sketches and iterated concepts can be seen at the Ransom Note page, <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Ransom_Notes">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Ransom_Notes</a>, but because a lot of the initial ideas can&#39;t be implemented without significant implementation difficulty (As I understand it, we don&#39;t know what desktop environment the user is using. If I&#39;m mistaken, and this is in fact easily dealt with, I&#39;d love to know.) only a few of them have been eligible for refinement and ultimately, inclusion in F17. Therefore, we&#39;re looking for you to share any ideas  on what we should show users while they install.<div>
