I'm all for this. I think the changes are great.
+1

A quick thought about that architecture tab would be replacing it with an advanced tab, which would include the stuff in get-fedora-all. We can discuss this further.

One question - what would we do about the older releases?

Subject: More proposed get.fpo adjustments, based on user feedback

Hi,

We've gotten some feedback on the new get.fpo design and I think there
are a couple of major mistakes in the design (and I take full
responsibility for them):

- completely lack of live usb documentation
- we link to archives but we don't link to torrents, mirrors, etc etc
etc

Attached is a patch that adds instructions for liveusb to the main page,
and swaps out the archives link in the right sidebar to an 'advanced
users' link that points to get-fedora-all which has a lot of the links
that the more technical folks are complaining aren't there. I've also
attached a screenshot so you can see what some of these changes look
like.

Let me know if there's any issues with this patch. I think that it's
worth applying to address the concerns of the more technical users. 

I also think we should consider dropping the architecture tab at some
point. I was going to try to do that in this patch, but it causes a
number of other issues that are a bit too hairy to get into at the
moment and I wanted to get this patch out ASAP.

Thanks,
~m
