+100.
I think that Mo noted somewhere in the mockups that there's a missing
element, which is the route for a person who is looking to update
their existing Fedora system. It might be just a single page that's
in order, and the flow itself is mostly there already.

The websites team, Hiemanshu and Sijis in particular, have been
working on these pages. To test them, here's what you need to do:
$ su -c 'yum groupinstall "Web Server"'
$ su -c 'yum install git gettext python-genshi babel'
$ git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-web.git # ~37 MB
$ cd fedora-web/fedoraproject.org
$ make
$ make test
Then point your web browser at http://localhost:5000/ to see results.
The folks on the Websites team could use some help in getting the HTML
and CSS done to support the mockup designs. I've advertised on some
social networking feeds -- assistance would be appreciated!

Introduction
by Lee Williams
Hi,
I thought I'd join up here as well as the infrastructure list - I do have
transferable skills to help, namely php / mysql, for web development with work
we use ASP.NET. For those not on the FIL I've included the main parts of the
original introduction I sent to the infrastructure list which gives you a fair
bit of info about me below; apologies if you've seen this before.
Cheers.
Lee

================== Original intro' sent to FIL ==================
I'm married with 3 kids (aged 4, 2, 1 :D)... full time job but I do get time to
spare surprisingly!!!! I love my family to pieces they mean the world to me.
I've been working in IT for 10yrs now all in a Microsoft DOS / Windows based
environment, starting with development in FoxBASE and FoxPro and moving through
the versions to visual fox. I've not attended university but have never had a
problem with reading / googlin' bits to learn new things; I do get quite a kick
from picking up "new to me" technologies and helping to solve problems.
Currently I work full time as a Visual Studio developer with Technology
Management Ltd. in the UK developing .NET applications for the WinCE / Windows
Mobile based mobile device market. Those applications are mainly written in C#
but we do have a significant VB.net code base.
Following the latest Microsoft based OS crash at home a rebuild has become
necessary which I started this weekend - yesterday in fact, so I made the choice
to make Linux my main OS; to be fair it should've been from when I dabbled with
Fedora 7 and 8 thereafter... still... my foot has gone down, and my wife is
scheduled a tour of Fedora at the weekend ;)
I have recently bootstrapped myself to other languages C / C++ and php for web
work I'm finding this interesting to say the least. I do have some experience
with Apache and MySQL (obviously the strong knowledge I have in Internet
Information Services and SQL Server have been somewhat transferable). It looks
like I need to add python to the list of things to learn and this is something
I've been mulling over so may just make that leap.
>From all of that I'm hoping you can tell that whilst I have very little
experience with 'nix environments I am keen to learn just need some guidance on
where to go to pick that up.
Away from PC's (if there ever is such time) I play guitar - well I play guitar,
banjo, and mandolin to be honest. The last two I'm not so hot at but I can
"hold my own" - to coin a phrase - on the guitar. I also love to read; and have
- of all things - recently started dabbling in magic and performance thereof
but... now I'm rambling :D
I look forward to helping in whatever way I can. I'm looking for a good place
to start, I'm obviously following the wiki, reading up when I can, and of course
getting my own Fedora environment setup (although I do have one running in
VirtualBox at work to satiate the 'nix desires whilst I'm at work :D).

Vendor Listings Contact
by Mark A. Angelisanti
Please respond to this email if you receive it.
My name is Mark Angelisanti. I am currently listed as a local vendor
for distributing Fedora media. I was previously listed as an online
vendor as well, but was removed from there by my own request. About a
month ago, I had sent an email to the email address for vendor listings
to be put back on the online vendors list. A little while after that, I
had requested that my local vendor listing be modified to include a link
to my website, and to include my business phone number.
As of right now, I have seen no changes made to any of those listings.
I am wondering if any of my emails have been received. Overall,
throughout these emails that I have sent, there have been a total of
three emails. I never got a reply to any of them, nor did I see any
requested changes.
As stated in the first line of this message, please respond to at least
acknowledge that you received this message. In the meantime, I am going
to try to email the email address for the vendors from my personal email
account.

Instead of Flash
by Tareq Al Jurf
Hi allSince we can't use Flash
i've found the best replacement for our sites
OpenLaszlo
i chose it because it's compatible with the flash player, but in the same
time it's an open source software
Can someone make sure we can use it
because i'm not that good with licenses
i found that it has a CPL License

Print stylesheets for Fedora and wiki
by Sijis Aviles
All,
I was poking through infra tickets and i ran into #1670 [1] (wiki:
"Printable version" not suitable for printing).
I decided to see if it can be done and this is what i came up with
these examples:
Fedora Wiki print - http://sijis.fedorapeople.org/fpo-print.html
Fedora regular page - http://sijis.fedorapeople.org/fpo-a.html
[1] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1670
In short, I've added the following code to the bottom of
commonPrint.css and print.css
--
#head, #sidebar, #nav, table#toc, h3#siteSub
{
display: none;
}
#wrapper, #bottom, #footer
{
padding: auto;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: none;
border: 0;
}
#content
{
margin: auto;
}
--
Note that commonPrint.css is for the wiki printable view. If needed,
we don't update that css file and just let print.css handle everything
when someone prints.
I've tested all this on:
Fedora 11 - FF 3.5.3
Windows XP - IE6, IE7, FF 3.5.2
Can someone review this and let me know what you think?
