All the images and banners are saved as png, and while some require this
(for eample the games spin) others do not and needlessly increase the
bandwidth of the website.
In more than one case png is chosen where jpg would save a huge amount of
space and download time.
Quick test in Riot and Color Quantizer:
f17_banner_background.png (Riot):
original: ~1.8mb
Optimized jpg (no change in visual quality): 53kb
games-banner.png (Color Quantizer):
original: ~250kb
optimized 512colour version: ~120kb
fudcon-blacksburg-2012.png (Riot or Color Quantizer):
Original: ~1.23mb
Optimized jpg (no change in visual quality): 170kb
Optimized png 512 colours with full alpha: ~512kb
jbossas7_bkg.png (Riot or Color Quantizer)
Original: ~250kb
Optimized jpg no visual change: ~40kb
Optimized png 128 colours: ~70kb
f17_fpo_screenshot.png (Color Quantizer):
Original: ~100kb
Optimized 128 colours + full alpha: ~25kb
And I did not even spend time on fine-tuning the settings.
A reduction from ~3.63mb to ~400kb! Well, it's your bandwidth, and it has
a detrimental impact on page download times as well.

Hi,
I just downloaded the fedora 18 beta dvd from https://fedoraproject.org
/get-prerelease just now. The page does contain a verify link. However,
this is easy to miss (I didn't see it in the first go either).
Would it not be better to add the "Verify your ISO" step to the download
page that comes after you click the link (ex: https://fedoraproject.org
/download-
splash?file=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/t...
-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso) since this page does have the "What should I do with
this ISO?" panda?
Logically:
Download page <click> verify <click> burn etc
Currently, we have something on the lines of
"After downloading, verify your iso!" (on the download page) <click to
download> iso page <click> burn
I was going to suggest that the "Not to worry, just follow along with our
step-by-step instructions." statement be linked to a page in the fedora
docs that's on "verify your media", but I fail to find this currently
(which is weird in itself).
I guess this would work:
{{{
What should I do with this ISO file?
An Iso file is an image of a disk. You'll need to burn it to a blank CD or
DVD in order to use it.
Not to worry, verify your download [link to verify page that opens in a
new window] and then just follow along with our step-by-step instructions
[link to making media page].
}}}
Basically, I'd like users to be pointed to the verify page after they've
clicked on the iso link. If the shasum of the iso could be displayed on
the iso download page (with an additional link to the verify page for
advanced users), it would be even nicer (since download managers do allow
you to verify checksums mostly).
Thanks :)

This need to be checked, but when the build fails because of transifex
client timeout or whatever (make: *** [pullpos] Error 1), it goes stuck.
For exemple we have:
apache 32594 32589 0 04:59 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/bin
/lock-wrapper syncStatic /usr/local/bin/syncStatic
apache 32608 32594 0 04:59 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/syncStatic
apache 32645 32608 0 05:00 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/syncStatic
Process 32594 attached - interrupt to quit
waitpid(-1, q <unfinished ...>
Process 32608 attached - interrupt to quit
read(3, <unfinished ...>
Process 32645 attached - interrupt to quit
waitpid(-1, <unfinished ...>
Somewhere, we fail to catch this issue and stop the build.

typo in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SwitchingToPostfix
by Jeremy Dawson
Thanks for this document - very useful.
but Line 4 of step 3 on this page which reads
X, use chkconfig --list postfix and chkconfig -list sendmail. You should
only see entries for the MTA that you have
should read
--list sendmail

Recently Joined Fedora project: Introduction
by Shubhanshu Mishra
Hi everyone at the Fedora project community,
I am happy and excited to introduce myself to you all and show my interest
in contributing to the Fedora website project. I was introduced to Fedora 8
years back by my school teacher and since then it has been my favorite and
most used linux distribution. I have created a few web apps in the past and
thought this would be a great place to learn from the community and also
contribute whatever I can.
You can see some of my open source contributions at:
http://github.com/napsternxg
This will be my first open source engagement with any project so I am
looking for guidance on how to get started. I have gone through the wiki
and already cloned the git repo on my machine. I am going through the bug
tracker and would love to know what are the bugs which I can start off with.
Regards,
