#385: I don't like fade-out feature at flocktofedora.org

When I hover my mouse over a section of the text at flocktofedora.org site
the neighboring sections fade out, get white or blurred and unreadable.
That's even worse if I hover the mouse pointer over the area with no text:
in such case all neighboring sections fade out. I guess the intention was
to emphasize the text under the mouse pointer but personally I don't like
this effect. I don't tend to keep the mouse pointer over the text I'm
currently reading. Instead I tend to keep it away, usually close to the
right scrollbar. Also think about the touchscreen devices: if you touch a
screen (for example to scroll the content) and it is interpreted as mouse
hover a part of the screen fades out which you don't want.
My suggestion is to fade in the hovered text rather than fade out the
neighboring text. In order to let the text be faded in it must be faded
out by default but really slightly faded out, for example background
#eeeeee foreground #111111, and fade in to background #ffffff foreground
#000000.

#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Our storical website http://fedoraproject.org actually has been replaced
by https://getfedora.org and is now outdated.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.

#384: Change primary Workstation downloadable to Fedora Media Writer

We're working on F24 change to change the primary downloadable of
Workstation to Fedora Media Writer (formerly LiveUSB Creator):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable
We need assistance from the websites team because the change requires
changes on the download website:
1) Based on the user agent Windows users should be offered an exe file
of FMW (Dennis is currently figuring out location for it).
2) For them, we should alter the website and explain what FMW is
instead of "What is a Live image"? We should still keep ISOs in Other
downloads for those we do want to download an ISO.
3) For everyone else (Linux, Mac,...), we should still offer an ISO,
but instead of general "To use this image, you need a drive that can
create or "burn" DVDs, or a USB flash drive at least as big as the
image." we should point them to FMW, probably linking
How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB which we will change to describe FMW.
Answers to additional questions asked by robyduck in email conversations:
Do you want to let people download a software to get a Fedora image
instead of a simple download link of the iso?[[BR]]
Yes, that's the idea. Especially on other platforms (Windows, Mac), it's
hard to find a tool that can reliably write Fedora on a USB drive. So
instead of downloading an ISO, Windows users will download a tool that
will let them download it and write it on a USB drive.
Mostly for win users?[[BR]]
Only for Windows users in F24 release cycle. We planned the same for Mac
users, but the Mac port won't be finished on time. If there is a standard
cross-distro installation format (e.g. xdg-app) in the future, we may
consider it for Linux users, too, but not for F24.
What about spins, labs, Server?[[BR]]
The Server working group decided not to use FMW as primary downloadable.
We also don't want to include spins and labs now. FMW allows you to
download Server, spins and labs, but spins and labs are in a list you need
to extend, so it may be confusing for users as primary downloadable. We
plan it only for Workstation now. Anyway, FMW should be at least mentioned
as the official way to write the ISO on download pages of other editions,
spins, and labs.
How will checksums work?[[BR]]
FMW checks checksums of ISOs it has downloaded before they're loaded to a
USB drive.
Where and who will provide documentation for the use of this
software?[[BR]]
We will describe how to use the tool on the following wiki page once it's
official. We don't want to change the wiki page now when FMW is still not
officially available.[[BR]]

#5207: Explore uses for donated CDN

We have been approached by a CDN (content delivery network) provider that
wishes to donate their services to us. :)
We need to explore how best we could use such a network or adapt to using
such a network.
Static websites content seems like it might be easy to test out.
mirrors seems like it would be more complex and heavy, but perhaps we can
find a way to use it for heavily accessed content.
Ideas and suggestions welcome.

While we don't want people who don't meet the target audience to try and
jump in and run rawhide, it might be nice to mention it for advanced
users.
Perhaps even just a link to the rawhide wiki page?
Happy to help draft wordage if we can figure out if there's a place it
fits.
