static page for F7 release, new directions
by Karsten Wade 22 May '07

22 May '07

For the Fedora 7 release, we are going to be using a static set of pages for the front of fedoraproject.org. For those of you who remember the Fedora Core 6 release and how hammered the Wiki was, you'll be happy that we can rest a bit easier for the coming release. Here is a *mock-up* using current styling, based on some existing conversations (source image below[1]); it is put forth for discussion on this list: http://people.redhat.com/~kwade/fedora/websites/images/main-page-redesign-0… Really, it's just a starting point for conversation. I expect all ya'll to speak up. :) We'll either deliver this as a hand-built static set of pages, or we'll use our spankin' new Plone instance[2] to output it. Doing the latter is useful because we simultaneously work up our CSS for Plone. The static set of pages are: Main page |=> Download via torrent |=> Download from a mirror |=> Fedora for end-users |=> Fedora for developers \=> Join Fedora The only other links on the page are: [Docs] => docs.fedoraproject.org [Wiki] => fedoraproject.org/wiki (or wiki.fedoraproject.org?) Legal => fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal Trademark Guidelines => http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines That is a reduction from 66 links (current front page) to 9. The page we design or some variant of it can become the permanent front-page for fedoraproject.org. In that case, we'll work from the set of redesign ideas from FUDCon[3], and in that scenario the links on the page actually *reduce* to: Main page |=> I want to do stuff with Fedora |=> I want to get Fedora and stuff |=> I want to join Fedora |=> Legal |=> Usage Policy \=> Trademark Guidelines Something like that. :) - Karsten [1] Source GIMP file: http://people.redhat.com/~kwade/fedora/websites/images/main-page-redesign-0… [2] http://fedoraproject.org/fedora/ is a Plone instance that, for technical reasons, doesn't have full auth for everyone. It is where we are going to build out the design for the new pages.

"Fedora Planet" link on frontpage
by Kamisamanou Burgess 13 May '07

13 May '07

I was wondering,why the "Fedora Planet" link took you to "Fedora People"? Shouldn't this be changed? -- Sayonara, Kamisamanou Burgess Kamisamanou.net - http://www.kamisamanou.net ClubFBC - http://www.clubfbc.com

Re: Fedora Wallpaper (Possible Mascot)

It seems that if one could get in contact with this artist, their might be a possible fedora mascot here.

I noticed somewhere on her page that she typically doesn't respond to e-mails immediately, so we may be waiting a week or so before we hear from her.

Wiki starting points? Drafts...
by Francis Earl 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I originally posted this to fedora-docs-list not knowing that was the wrong place for it... this is a copy and paste as I believe this list is more the correct place: I'm looking for somewhere to get started on the wiki, and I'm not sure where to proceed? This lead me to the Drafts wiki page, am I free to edit these pages as I see fit? What is the etiquette here? Just looking briefly at the "Getting Started" page, I believe a few improvements could be made. It's overtone is very professional, which is intimidating. I also think things like Graphic User Interface and Window Manager should provide links to wikipedia so the user can learn more about the topic if they wish. Wikipedia is provided in the Free Content bookmarks folder in Fedora 7t4, so I don't think that would be an issue? I think the wiki is the wrong place to try and explain such things though. Also, I don't see a way to upload images? There is a saying "a picture tells a thousand words", and I believe it's true. I don't even see a way to add images though? Screenshots (of a particular section of relevance on the desktop) would greatly clarify what things say, and provide an air of confidence for the user "I must be doing it right, it looks the same". Just some thoughts...

Plone rollout
by Mike McGrath 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Ok, so it sounds like we're all in agreement. Lets setup what has to be done. Fedora 7 GA release is on May 24th. Less then a month. I'd like to have our page get released a week before if possible, on May 17th. My hopes are that we can give a fresh new look the site and digg it. It will be a good load test before it really counts. One thing we need to remember is that many of the RH folks, including myself, will be at the summit during a portion of the next month. (http://www.redhat.com/summit) What can we get done say... by the end of the week? -Mike

Page redirect
by Holger W. Dörner 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

I see that the page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted is now redirected forward to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join . So, is it ok when I make a redirect from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/de_DE/HilfeGesucht to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/de_DE/Beitreten to keep that syncron? Regards. -- Holger W.

Wiki Patch
by Ricky Zhou 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi! In the kindofblue theme, the sidebar is absolutely positioned, which makes it overlap/cover the footer on short pages (e.g. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Join?action=info) I've made a quick patch to switch to a float-based layout and avoid this problem. The patch also replaces "sidebar-header" (purely presentational markup) with a background-image on #header (this required me to alter wiki-sidebar-header.png slightly). I've put the relevant files up here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RickyZhou/kindofblue Side note: I just joined this group yesterday, so please let me know if there are any tasks that I can look at/get involved in. Thanks, Ricky

Please revert back to previous version. > I have reverted this change. We have way too many links in the frontpage. I don't think we need more marketing links now. If anything invest in cleaning up http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing so that the links are prominent and content is well organized. Next step would getting super simple content in the plone site up and running. Rahul I apologize for that. I did not know the exact procedure for modifications. In the future I will be sure to make sure that I have explicit permission before making any changes to any part of the wiki.
