 Our actual download pages are still remanends from older methods of
 shipping Fedora. We had 6 or 7 CDs, spins and some netinstall CDs, but now
 the arches and formats are much more and we are creating confusion. This
 leads to misunderstandings and we are also not able to promote all the
 arches the right way.

 Actually we have 4 download pages on fp.o:
 * get-fedora
 * get-fedora-options
 * get-fedora-all
 * get-prerelease

 and we have also http://spins.fedoraproject.org

 My thought would be to:
 * Drop the get-fedora-all page completely
 * Avoid any kind of duplicates, i.e. some spins (the major ones) are
 available on 2 or 3 pages. All spins should reside on spins.fp.o!
 * Use the get-fedora page to promote all the shipping methods

 The clearest method to do so IMHO would be to drop also the right random
 banners we have on the sidebar (Desktop, 2nd-arches, Cloud, Spins) and to
 put them into the get-fedora page.\\
 They should link to the tabs in get-fedora-options or to our spins page
 and give users a clear idea of what is available.\\
 Same for get-pre-release: it would be easy to promote on the get-fedora
 page, and we could also advertise it better on our main page.

 If I can find some time after F19 GA I could give it a try, but if you
 have concerns or ideas please let me know and comment.

Comment:

 I agree, we already spoke about that and should clean a few things.

 We should have a simple way to download the default Fedora. Let's say it
 is the index and the bug blue button.
 Then... Ok, that's a wide discussion that should be on the mailing list
 IMHO.
 But get-fedora-options become nicer at each release, and more and more
 complete. That could be the main page.

 Let's see after the F19 release.
 The major issue is that the download pages should be for new users, and
 dear old contributors. Different targets, different needs. Same website.

 You also forget http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/

Comment (by mattdm):

 One of the key problems with the current page is lack of search engine
 friendliness. A search for "Fedora cloud images" brings up the several
 wiki pages and some junk. It would be nice if the each page were nicely
 tailored for people looking for that particular download.  For cloud
 images, "Fedora Cloud Images" should lead in the html title tag, for
 example.

 Also, I would like to see greater prominence for the cloud image for F20.
 I'm going to propose a number of aspects to FESCO, and among them, I'd
 like the cloud images to be next to the main desktop spin in visibility on
 the main download page.

Comment:

 We are partially rewriting the download pages for F20, Cloud Images will
 have more visibility and ARM is also primary now, so it will get his own
 page too. \\
 All the arches who have a dedicated page are in the title, also Cloud
 Images has, so if you search for ''Fedora Cloud Images'' it should
appear
 in the top 5 results or at least on the first page.

 I'm closing this ticket, it's useless for now, we will rediscuss this when
 we know more about the WG...
