Suggestion @ Fedoraproject / Wiki

[Siddharth Upmanyu]

Hi folks..
I would like to suggest to change the Header and Footer images on the wiki
to match the latest release of Fedora... i think a DNA blend in the graphic
will give it a more vibrant look and with even better graphics coming every
new release the Fedora website will look refreshing and new in just one
change...

It is a good suggestion but IMO changing the look and feel for every 
single release has the disadvantage that it looks inconsistent for folks 
not running the latest release. Perhaps someone in Fedora art list would 
be interested in this.

It seems like it would be smartest to make the Fedora website graphics 
more generic, and leaving the release-specific artwork for any 
banners/graphics relating to the current release.

It's just way too much work to update all of the artwork involved across 
Fedora websites for every release, and as it is we have a dearth of 
artists and designers.

This is an interesting idea.  It is a different practice than the past.
To be clear, you are suggesting that starting now, we re-fresh the look
of the Website to match the graphical look of the current release of
Fedora.

The best (and only) place to discuss this is on fedora-websites-list
(Reply-to set), or by filing a bug report with examples/graphics/patches
attached.  f-ambassadors-l is for Ambassador business and event
discussion, while f-marketing-l is a strategic marketing list.
