I heartily apologize for this email being way too late, since I like to circulate a call for agenda a few days ahead of the meeting. I'm having a hard time finding what we need to decide in a WG meeting this week.
There has been good discussion that started about Darktable -- resolved the specific issue for now, although there are spinoffs happening, albeit without a clear agenda-ready question. Am I missing a clear decision point for which we need to meet this week?

I mentioned this to Paul in IRC, but worth throwing up here too -- we got this (misplaced, but understandably so) bug report requesting more emphasis/explanation be given for the netinstall image.

It's KDE-focused, but could apply to Workstation as well. It's mostly a websites request, but it seems like the kind of request which should be either supported or decided against for $REASONS by the WG first.

FWIW, Workstation's download page already fairly prominently features the netinstall images. The reporter was looking at the KDE spin download page which does not.
See the right hand sidebar here:
https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
IIRC we did this because when we first rolled out getfedora.org, users were downloading the netinstall images from the Server page to install Workstation and it seemed silly to make them do that.

Having spent quite some time with folks who worked on the website redesign, I recall that the netinstalls are set up to be visible, but not in a way that confuses users to think they *should* opt for them. It's hard to tell whether a prominent explanation would undo that design. I think Mo hangs out on this list so hopefully she can help us focus on solving the right problem here.
Also, since no netinstall link exists on spin sites, this probably makes them harder to find. I sent a note to Websites to get some design input on that particular issue, since the designers usually hang out there:

Sorry to reply to myself -- I also meant to note, without a clear question to decide, this doesn't seem in itself like a reason to hold the WG meeting, although we certainly should keep discussing here.

Yep, thanks. Just wanted to mention it here, since I closed the bug as NOTABUG. :)
