--------------------------+-----------------------
 @FLOCK the design team came up with an improved version of our main
 getfedora.org page. Actually we still have the messages we wanted to
 display for fedora.next, but now we should improve that page and make
 things nicer, because users are used to see 3 Fedora editions and we can
 focus on something else.

 We have a mockup for it, in [https://github.com/fedoradesign/nextweb-
 assets/blob/master/Mockups/Brochure%20Site/getfedoradotorg_final.svg SVG]
 and [https://github.com/fedoradesign/nextweb-
 assets/blob/master/Mockups/Brochure%20Site/getfedoradotorg_final.png PNG]
 format. The page has a slightly different structure, so we have to rewrite
 also the mobile stuff, but all in all it should not be too much work.

 Let's try to get this in for F23 final release. Any ideas or help with
 this task?

Comment (by robyduck):

 The index is more or less done, but still needs some tweaks, for example:
 * Height on top can probably be more
 * Edition backgrounds have white lines inside
 * The grey pattern is not visible, so we should drop the ''cover''
 instruction or make a new png for it
 * The <hr /> lines are not so nice, and they are also difficult to set for
 all devices and resolutions. Drop them? Substitute them with other stuff?
 * Titles for magazine, askfpo etc are thin (also the text), we could
 probably drop this class for the title (but then we are not consistent
 with the rest...)

 The websites are now all in staging and running, you can see them there.

Comment (by lonemadmax):

 I don't know if I should post this here or anywhere else.  Reviewing
 changes for translation of getfedora.org, I've found "or
'''askyour''' own
 question" in the Get Help section of the main page.

Comment (by cydrobolt):

 I like the design, and I think it looks much better than our current
 layout.
 However, I'd like to propose a change to the primary tagline of "Fedora is
 now more focused"

 I've discussed this on IRC with robyduck, and I am compelled to rewrite it
 because it infers that Fedora was not focused before. We've also split
 into different products a while back, so I don't feel like this tagline
 applies anymore.

 The tagline that I am proposing is "one distribution for the workstation,
 server, and cloud"

 I think we should change this in this redesign, otherwise we may never get
 to it because translations can take a while.

Comment (by cydrobolt):

 Also, perhaps figuring something out with the stripes at the bottom would
 make the page look even better. It is a bit difficult to understand what
 the 3-quarters-of-the-way lines mean at first glance, and it first seems
 like it is something broken. Maybe extending it all the way would make it
 look better? Perhaps it looks fine the way it is, and I am just too tired
 :)

 Yes, the <hr> is not nice, I just pointed that out in comment #6, there
 are also other tweaks to do.

 For the tagline, let's see what design/marketing says to that. Personally
 I feel that with your proposed tagline we intend one image/download for
 all editions and that's not.

Comment (by cydrobolt):

 I don't think that's what the tagline would imply. It implies that Fedora
 is a distribution suitable for all your needs, however, it does not imply
 that it is in one image.

 Replying to [comment:9 cydrobolt]:
>  The tagline that I am proposing is "one distribution for the

 Let's take this to the Fedora Marketing list, since it seems more of a
 marketing thing than a web issue per-se (except for the implementation, of
 course!)

 I was talking to Máirín the other day, and she mentioned that she'd like
 to avoid the word "distribution", which is Linux-specific jargon. Possibly
 "One OS for the workstation, server, and cloud"? But, also, I want to
 position these as for _use cases_, not deployment environments.  One OS
 for developer desktops, for easy server deployment and management, and for
 cloud computing... Anyway, let's take this to the marketing list. :)

Comment (by cydrobolt):

 All some pretty great ideas! I think "One OS for workstation, server, and
 cloud" could be interesting. I agree that we may want to focus on use
 cases rather than use environments, but we may be better off explaining
 those in the subtext rather than making the tagline more expansive.

 Anyhow, I will send an email to the marketing list.

Comment (by malinizuki):

 I would add a bit hover somewhere, it would be nice to 'liven up' a bit
 getfedora.org website
 and also Ask Fedora icon is too small in responsive
