Hi,
Apparently the "OS Developer" icon in join Fedora page doesn't translate well into "testing" or "maintaining packages" for many people. There was a brief discussion in fedora-devel list starting at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-December/msg02553.htm...
To summarize, maybe "Fedora Developer", "Developer" or "Developing/ Testing" or individual icons for these that point to the same section might be better.

Thanks for passing this one - we actually discussed this at our last meeting, and Marc Ferguson sent out a couple of emails asking for feedback for our join page. It has been pretty quiet for now (holidays, I guess), but our next big goal for this release is to improve our join-fedora page (much like we improved get-fedora last time).
Thanks, Ricky

Sorry, I am not following meeting notes much these days.
Does the goal include improving http://spins.fedoraproject.org? Personally, I would put that as a higher priority than join page. We have a increasingly large number of spins and the traffic directed towards them has clearly gone down with the new Get Fedora page because the spins are more or less invisible for the large majority of users.

Not really - there was some planning work done for spins.fp.o at the last FUDCon and a fedorahosted project was started for it, but it seems to be blocking on the development work for a spins web app (as the spins site was planned to be more complicated than just a set of static pages).
Thanks, Ricky

I think there is a FUDCon session planned on spins and if we are not getting a web app by the end of it, a simple set of static pages might be way better than what we have at this point.
