Change "Contributors" to "Wiki"?
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
I see that fedoraproject.org design is getting a large amount of feedback
but I saw a few people suggesting $subject and perhaps it has not been
captured here. What do you think of that? Wiki is popular and people
recognize the word just fine IMO.

new look
by Tom Horsley
A lot of people like the timed swapping of content such as you
have in the top half of the page, but I have to say I always
find it irritating. The timer never has any idea if I'm half
way through looking at something when it swaps it out :-).
In page 1 of the content, I think it is reaching a bit to
describe fedora with the word "stable". I wouldn't consider
any release with a 6 month release cycle as "stable", and
googling in the fedora user's list could probably find thousands
of messages with people jumping on users running fedora as
a server telling them they should use centos or rhel if
they want a stable release for a server.

Popup to download ISOs
by Siddhesh Poyarekar
Hi,
Whiled downloading the F14 beta ISO yesterday, I noticed that the
actual download link comes up in a popup; my browser blocked it. Can
this be fixed? Pretty sure this must be annoying for a lot of people.
Thanks,

Bug: menu load
by gross
*Hello.*
On transition from http://fedoraproject.org/ru/get-fedora-all and some
others to home page (using menu), I see unloaded menu and numbers 1 to 4 in
it's top left corner.
Platform: linux x64, google chrome 8.0 dev.
Screenshot in attachment.
There's no such problem in firefox. Maybe, it's just a chrome problem(

Results of website testing
by Matthew Jadud
Hello all,
I was suspicious that the results of our testing would not be
available until after release. This was always the likely possibility.
Additionally, I spent quite a bit of time wrestling with a video of a
presentation our class put together, and I've decided that this is not
the bottleneck we want in reporting back the results of our
explorations.
As part of CMPSCI 303: Human Centered Design, three groups of students
at Allegheny each engaged in a lo-fi testing process of several
different parts of the fp.org website. We used this as a "sprint"
through the testing process -- we carried out this work as our first
exploration of paper prototyping and user testing, and does not
represent expert work. Instead, it represents an exploration that
allowed us to move into our second project with more confidence.
The reports are linked in from our class wiki:
http://wiki.rockalypse.org/HCD/Website_Testing_Results
The students' discoveries are reflected, in some cases, in the current
design. We might take this as ex post facto validation of some of the
design elements in the site. Some of their work might inform further
evolution.
Comments on our work is welcome -- this was the first time we
attempted anything like this, and turning around this kind of process
within a month in a classroom context is challenging. (That, and I'm
still learning to use the video equipment... clearly, I have some
infrastructure issues that need to be resolved.)
Many thanks to Máirín Duffy and the rest of the websites team who
interacted with us constructively and positively -- you enriched our
classroom experience in HCD, and I hope the students' reports add a
bit of value to your ongoing process.
Cheers,
Matt
