Fedora 23 Alpha Readiness

[Chris Roberts]

Hi,

I think going back to the other email post, about screenshots, since we have Fedora Next I would like to get away from the wiki and have something that would match the theme of the Fedora Next web pages. Maybe Design could come up with some cool pictures or some banners for the article on the Magazine.

Well, I don't know how many users pick screenshots from the wiki. We
didn't have them for F22 and we received no complaints. Unfortunately,
we have no metrics on this, so I'm just assuming that the screenshots
aren't used too much. It's much easier for people to take screenshots
on their own systems than to fetch them from our wiki page which isn't
well advertised.

getfedora.org does have images on the products. If we do a screenshot
library, could we maybe have a link to this on getfedora.org? Something
like "See more screenshots!". 

The one issue I have with this is that the wiki isn't the most posh
place to host a screenshot library if we're thinking of advertising it
to users. Should we use the wiki as an image dump for ourselves and
then put the best up on Flickr or something with CC licenses? (Flickr
or another open source image platform)
