Hi Brian,
So the alt downloads in the sidebar I thought you were talking about is different than
spins.fpo and alt.fpo. The ones I thought you were talking about were, for example, the
links to netinstall isos and local media vendors.
Spins.fpo and alt.fpo are very intentionally on different websites. The getfedora.orgpage
is targeted at mainstream first time Fedora users, users we wouldnt want using a specific
spin as part of their first experience bc they are less polished and not as supported as
the editions that are featured prominently on getfedora.
So I guess my point is that these are not surface level website tweaks. The suggested
tweaks belie a drastic change in strategy I am not comfortable with, esp without a lot
more data and context.

This is certainly not critical, but I beleieve the thread of the
conversation I had with Bex that making the spins and alt architectures
easier to find might reduce the friction point a bit for people seeking
to
try out Fedora.
However, I think your suggested solution is a very good idea. It would
meet
the goal we have to demonstrate different platform availability and
seems
less clunky than what I proposed. Could that be a possibility?
Thanks,
Brian

were a couple of suggestions we wanted to make to your team to
highlight key areas of Fedora. Specifically:
>>
>> * Highlight the Alternate Downloads links. Currently on your
Downloads pages, the Get more Fedora links are located on the
lower-right corner of the page. Moving this section up the sidebar
would emphasize the availability of these alternative versions of
Fedora.

for Fedora does exist[1], but it is not easy to find. Could a link be
added to the About section in the site's footer?
