#293: Some websites still use fedoraproject.org files

Our storical website http://fedoraproject.org actually has been replaced
by https://getfedora.org and is now outdated. We still keep fp.o live
although it's not build anymore, because many websites (also some apps
probably) and the wiki still use CSS classes or other files which are in
the fp.o tree.
We should make sure all webpages have these files locally because fp.o
will be overwritten at some point.

#274: UEFI consistency warning

Please add a prominent warning advising users to be consistent in their
usage of UEFI or CSM (BIOS) style installation when booting multiple
operating systems. Whether by misconception, firmware quirks, poor media
creation tools, or accident, users have been consistently reporting issues
with booting their Windows installations after installing Fedora. I have
observed that a significant number of these issues relate to the user
"disabling UEFI" to install Fedora, then discovering that their UEFI
installation of Windows no longer boots. Browse through
ask.fedoraproject.org for Windows related questions, and you'll see how
prevalent these issues are.
There is documentation under development to further explain the issues
involved, but it would be hugely beneficial to have a simple warning to be
consistent displayed when the Fedora image is downloaded. Maybe in
download-splash?

#91: fedorahosted could use a redesign

Some things I noticed while walking some non-Fedora people through getting
connected on fedorahosted:
* need to point people from fedorahosted to
admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ for signing up for a new account
* Not obvious to people that they don't need to sign the FPCA to
contribute on hosted (although that's a project-by-projcet setting)
* http://fedorahosted.org/ should give an overview of what fedorahosted is
rather than a list of projects so that people can find out that anyone can
put upstream code there.

#244: Create system for automated screenshots capture

For releases, screenshot creation depends mostly on volunteers with the
need to cover many different options. As screenshots for spins, local
Fedora webs looking for translated screenshots etc. It would be nice to
have (semi)-automated system for screenshots capture.
Requirements - be able to take screenshot from all offered options we
ship, in defined language (optionally for all language variants we offer
for websites).
Implementation could be done through utilization of libvirt and dogtails
scripts. I can even imagine generic Fedora screenshots capture system
based on this effort for App Stream data screenshots creation even with
some sort of joined effort with QA validation for Applications test case
criteria (but this is now pretty much out of scope of initial project).
But I can check with those parties too.

#319: Make a script to get and use AMI IDs automatically

AMI IDs are getting more and more and we'll probably have soon other
public cloud services and not only Amazon. To make this part easier to
maintain we should think about a script. I have an idea, it could work
like this:
* use fedimg to get the IDs of the AMIs for all regions
* put the IDs into a specific file (a dedicated ami_id.py variable file?)
* all html files can get the IDs from that file simply by calling the
variables
* we should add the execution of the script to our makefile. This way we
can update all IDs on every page manually just by doing ''make amis''. At
the next build the IDs would be in the html pages
The source from where the script gets the IDs can be datanommer but also
other sources. Not sure which one is easier and faster.
Ideas? Comments? Other proposals?

#209: use geolocation to pick default ec2 region on getfedora page

With F19, the "launch" page doesn't show up until you choose a region. We
could default to us-east-1, because that's the biggest and most-full
featured region, but that may come off as a little us-centric. So, what
about guessing the closest region based on geoip, for the F20 version of
the page?

This websites use the Genshi framework to build without using the Genshi
templates.
Once we decide what to do with this website (continue, recode, or drop) we
will need to clean it.
- Making use of data/templates (they are currently not used at all) and
removing specific headers in data/content/*
- probably share the templates with the other websites.

#330: Implement GNU Terry Pratchett

I happened to be on the Debian wiki and noticed that they have implemented
[http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/ GNU Terry Pratchett] on at least some
of their webservers.
(As mentioned in the link, this is a HTTP headers tribute to the life of
Sir Terry Pratchett, acclaimed British author, who died of early-onset
Alzheimer's earlier this year).
The Fedora Project does not appear to be doing the same, so I was
wondering if we would be willing to add that header to our websites?
This is obviously a very low priority request. :)
