Entering just the bare directory URL:
	http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/
presently does a redirect into:
	http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora#clouds

May I recommend moving this archive down a level, and adding 
an intermediate directory and listing with
	- each file available, 
	- checksum (md5, shaN, whatever),
	- stock userid present having sudo rights
	- passwd for that stock userid
	- a date / timestamp
and of course
	- additional bikeshed material to taste

While having an 'outlink to the the brand', as the present 
redirect does is a fine idea, as is 'skinning', it seems 
inappropriate when one simply wants to peruse possible images 
to retrieve

As to content to present, to some degree, you are on the same 
path as Richard W.M. Jones more mature solution to such 
issues, as specified at:
	http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html
