 The front page of http://fedoraproject.org/ was clearly intended for
 constantly-updated posts and dynamic content. This did not, for whatever
 reasons, happen. The content that is there very well done, but is also
 woefully, depressingly old. (The user profiles are good even though dated,
 but many of the tutorials are dead links, or apply to old versions of
 packaged software.)

 I suggest that we do one of

 A) cut the entire "Fedora Highlights" section and instead link to the new
 Fedora Magazine

  or

 B) replace the existing data with data fed from
 http://fedoramagazine.org/feed

Comment (by robyduck):

 Hi Matt, \\
 I fully agree with your basic thought about having on our main page a very
 very old content which has become annoying in all these years (yes
 years!).\\
 Nevertheless I'm not sure we should place a feed on that page, because we
 need to:
 * translate at least the posts on our main page
 * We should keep the "What makes Fedora different?" post somewhere (also
 on another page)
 * Main page should not be a duplicate of the planet or the start.fpo page

 I'd like to have something "in the middle", some selected posts we keep on
 fpo for some months for example. Translators would have time to translate
 them and we don't take the risk to have duplicated less important posts
 you can read also on the planet or somewhere else (the magazine itself for
 example).

 Further I'd propose to use the newsbar more often, for major news
 obviously, but it's nice having actual content there. Thanks for bringing
 this up, let's deepen this discussion a bit more.

Comment (by shaiton):

 I agree also, we have an old ticket for that. Even more tickets:

     #99, #127, #164

 I've asked many times from marketing to have more content. I had few
 answers, last time I was hoping to have it done at Flock, but since I was
 not there it gets forgotten.
 Therefore, I would say it's too late to update the content.
 I am +1 to drop it and replace by something else. If people want them
 back, they will come back to help.

 Fedora Magazine is more about contributors than simple users. But it can
 help to move users on the contributor side.
 I would prefer to have a selection, each months? of some articles to
 publish. What do you think?

Comment (by mattdm):

 The several-month cycle sounds great if we can make sure there's someone
 to drive it.

 Or maybe we just need to make a badge for it and sit back. :)

Comment:

 getfedora.org is in place, we will have other sources for dynamic content.
