Four questions:

1.  When entering:
	http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/ 
in a firefox browser, I get a (actually, an unwanted) redirect 
to the TOP of: [1]
	https://getfedora.org/

Why there?


2.  Why is the HTML not 'tidy' clean?  [2]


3.  When viewing in lynx, I can see instead:
	Fedora Project - Get Fedora: Desktops, Other Formats, 
Spins, Clou... (p23 of 42)
	[3]

Not sure what is going on, but ...


4. Actually, moving the shortlinks down a level (visually -0- 
obviously, the httpd can 'display' a directory not actually 
'at' a given place in a filesystem) to a 'knowable and stable' 
URL, and enabling DirectoryIndex display, makes the shortlink 
listing more useful, as then one can 'browse' what else may be 
available (or trained eyes can 'spot' what is missing).  As an 
RFE, could such a DirectoryIndex's location visibility be 
added?


5. And a last question.  Under what BGZLA component should I 
file the web presence bugs, and the RFE?
