[Fedora-spins] Expanding the branding and marketing of spins?

We don't do a great job of marketing spins at the moment - a naive user 
has to click "Download" and then do something other than click the large 
obvious "Download now!" button. Clicking "Desktops" gives a list of 
desktops with no real information about what they are - users have to 
click through to the spins site. Non-desktop spins are hidden under a 
tab marked "spins", which is Fedora-specific terminology. Even once you 
get to spins.fedoraproject.org, every spin is forced into a format that 
gives little opportunity to differentiate. There's no integration with 
upstream branding.

The board is considering whether the current situation meets the needs 
of the spins. Do people feel that they would benefit from the 
opportunity to have a stronger individual identity for their spin, with 
its own website and branding (still obviously tied to Fedora, but 
potentially also tied to upstream)? Or is the feeling that the current 
situation is acceptable?
