bcotton added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` We'll need some content for it. You can look at the [Python Classroom Lab](https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/blob/master/f/labs.fedoraproject.org/data/...) as an example.
Basically, a brief description of what it is, some screenshots and some features etc. You can provide this in whatever format you want and we can get it into the format the site needs.
The site will go live with the Fedora 34 Beta release if we have all of the content in time. Let's aim for having the content by the end of February in order to have time to get it put together for the Beta release date (currently targeted for 16 March) ``

jflory7 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` Hi! We finished drafting our Spin elevator pitch, tagline, and took some screenshots (thanks @semioticrobotic and @aashu23!).
The approved tagline and description from i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin#31 are below:
**The Fedora operating system experience featuring a tiling window manager.**
The Fedora i3 Spin provides the popular i3 tiling window manager. It makes i3 accessible and appealing to both novices and advanced users who prefer not to use a mouse, touchpad, or other pointing device to interact with their environment. Featuring lightweight applications for web browsing, text editing, and media playback, the Fedora i3 Spin offers a complete experience with a minimalist user interface.
Approved screenshots are already uploaded to i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin#30 and can be downloaded there. ``

bcotton added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` The staging website is having issues currently, but the content is available in the `staging` branch of this repo if you want to try a local build.
Some things we'll still need:
* A banner for the i3 Spin. I've requested that as design#727 * App listings and descriptions. See the bottom half of the [lxqt spin](https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/lxqt/). Or we can drop that content entirely * A review of the IRC and mailing list entries I put to make sure that's where you want to direct people ``

Hey Ben! One thing you can also mention for documentation is the Fedora i3 SIG documentation:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/i3/
But is good to also mention the upstream documentation, since that will likely be the most useful resource for most users.
As for app listings and description, we will work on this. Is there a deadline for when you need this info from the SIG? ``

Great Thanks!
- App listings and descriptions. See the bottom half of the [lxqt spin](https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/lxqt/). Or we can drop that content entirely
As @jflory7 commented, the list is still building, a couple of things are left. But we have a [basic list](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/i3/package-groups/#minimal)
- A review of the IRC and mailing list entries I put to make sure that's where you want to direct people
IRC and ML URL are ok, but documentation will also point to [our docs](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/i3/). I'm with @jflory7 that pointing to the upstream docs is also great.

Let's say a week before the Beta release (so 9 March). It shouldn't take very long to put the content in place, but it'd be good to have some cushion.
IRC and ML URL are ok, but documentation will also point to our docs. I'm with @jflory7 that pointing to the upstream docs is also great.
Okay. I'll work on including both and if it doesn't work out well, I'll default to your docs. ``

djremo added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` Could we add a link to ( https://fedoramagazine.org/getting-started-i3-window-manager/ ) in the SIG page? The article is the most read on our magazine, and is a great guide for anyone wanting to get started with a new tiling window manager! ``

Added.
As @jflory7 commented, the list is still building, a couple of things are left. But we have a [basic list](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/i3/package-groups/#minimal)
We still need the list of apps you want to feature on the page, including images and descriptions for them.

bcotton added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` I've merged the i3 site into `master` so it will be ready when the Beta release happens. It will not appear on the front page until F34 Final.
I've commented out all of the applications for now. We can add that back once descriptions and images are available for the applications, along with the categorization. ``

If it doesn't appear in the next two hours or so (or if you're impatient), you can build it locally:
1. clone the `staging` branch of https://pagure.io/fedora-websites 2. `cd fedora-websites/spins.fedoraproject.org` 3. `make en test` 1. The content will be available at http://localhost:5000/i3/ ``

bcotton added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` It's live on stg and now I notice that I need to shrink the htop, mousepad, and thunar icons to match the sizes of the other icons.
For the entries without an icon specified, I used a generic terminal icon. I tried with no image and it didn't look good. ``
