"Fedora Core" heading on the left hand side docs.fp.o landing page?

[Christopher Antila]

Hello:

I have to agree with Justin's sentiments here, and would like to suggest
a more marked change to the sidebar.  It's less easy to implement then
just changing to "Fedora Core (obsolete)", but it might make it easier
for users to find what they want.  It would definitely help to make
clear what versions of Fedora are still officially supported.

The sidebar could look something like this (titles are just tentative):

Officially-Supported Fedora Versions
|- Fedora 13
-- Fedora 12
Obsolete Fedora Versions
|- Fedora 11
|- Fedora 10
...
|- Fedora Core 2
-- Fedora Core 1
Contributed Documentation
   (same as now)
Draft Documentation
   (same as now)

Also, the version numbers are somewhat difficult for me to read, because
of their size and colour.  Including the word/s "Fedora" or "Fedora
Core" in front of the numbers might also help users to visually
recognize the numbers as important.

Overall, the new site seems like a huge improvement on the old one.  As
the number of documents grows, the ability to see everything at a glance
is going to be more and more important.
