The core function of a website doesn't matter if people looking for it can't find it. As a case in point, people looking for "Fedora Media Writer" get https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/04/26/fedora-media-writer-the-fastest-way-to-create-live-usb-boot-media/ as the first hit. That's at least associated with our sponsor and not entirely foreign, but I'd think we'd want https://fedoramagazine.org/make-fedora-usb-stick/ or even https://getfedora.org/workstation/download/ to outscore it. -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ Fedora Marketing mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
