Thanks for bringing that up. I need to bring some of this out of wiki
pages and irc chat and other buried locations (including my remembrance
of what we talked about at Flock!). Take a look at
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Two_Week_Atomic/Website> for
what *I'm* thinking. As noted at the top, it's not final (see last
paragraph of _this_ mail).

A key goal of the getfedora.org site was clear presentation of the
editions, with less of a Choose Your Own Adventure feel. But the
current F21/F22 getfedora.org page for cloud pulls in a lot of
different directions. Mo said something like "apples, apples,
broccoli". Docker even got stuck there for lack of a better home.
(Apples, broccoli, apple seeds?)

So, narrowing that down to one thing seemed good. In the initial
Two-Week Atomic proposal, Atomic was to be moved off of getfedora.org
to its own home at atomic.fedoraproject.org, with a design similar to
existing https://arm.fedoraproject.org/.

With making Atomic the focus, keeping that same basic idea of clear
presentation seemed like the right thing to do. The people looking for
Atomic and the people looking for the Cloud Base image probably aren't
the same group, so we probably don't want to put them under the same
top-level brochure path (even though the same group is concerned with
both behind the scenes).

So, *this* proposal has a separate page for cloud images,
cloud.fedoraproject.org, with *that* modeled after the arm download
page. We talked about adding it to https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ or
to https://labs.fedoraproject.org/, but it doesn't fit with the new
focus of that site.

Also, http://getfedora.org is getting a refresh, and as part of that
design, the "Looking for more Fedora?" section will become a lot more
prominent, including logos for KDE and XFCE. That's where I'm thinking
the link to the cloud page with the Cloud Base image would go. That
way, someone not interested in Atomic and just looking for Fedora In
The Cloud would be able to find it on the front page with reasonable
prominence, while someone looking for "What's Fedora's featured stuff?"
would see Workstation, Server, Atomic first.

I also think it's reasonable to have a link to the Atomic page from the
cloud page, and vice versa, so that anyone who _does_ come in through
the maze that way won't be lost.

All that said, I may be getting a little ahead of myself in excitement
-- if not everyone is down with this plan, let's figure out what it
*should* look like. I hope I'm not actually too far off and that all of
the above makes sense.
