Re: Where are the sources for the spins websites located?

2020-04-20 Thread Máirín Duffy
Hey Carson,

With a new logo coming up for Fedora, those pages are definitely slated for a 
redesign. Our process involves doing mockups first. We would love to see your 
ideas! One of the things we are looking to do is merge the spins and labs sites 
into one since the distinction have proved to cause confusion.

``
These are some mockups I worked on based on the new getfedora.org design. The 
only thing kind of funky here is the filters for viewing only stable / testing 
/ next releases... I don't know if they are necessary or not; it's mocked up to 
show the 'view all streams' view.

No I'm less concerned about that although I'd put it on the about page and not 
as a new footer link.

Re: Suggestions for Website

2019-03-22 Thread Máirín Duffy
Hi Brian,

So the alt downloads in the sidebar I thought you were talking about is 
different than spins.fpo and alt.fpo. The ones I thought you were talking about 
were, for example, the links to netinstall isos and local media vendors.

Spins.fpo and alt.fpo are very intentionally on different websites. The 
getfedora.orgpage is targeted at mainstream first time Fedora users, users we 
wouldnt want using a specific spin as part of their first experience bc they 
are less polished and not as supported as the editions that are featured 
prominently on getfedora. 

So I guess my point is that these are not surface level website tweaks. The 
suggested tweaks belie a drastic change in strategy I am not comfortable with, 
esp without a lot more data and context.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the analysis and info!

For the alt download links - do we want or need to emphasize their 
availability? Is there more context for who needs these, how common a need that 
would be, etc? Bc a better solution could be - for example - upgrading a 
particular link from an alt link to a main download link if new circumstances 
require it.

[fedora-websites] Issue #788: IoT web site / landing page

2018-05-23 Thread Máirín Duffy

duffy added a new comment to an issue you are following:
``
Posting the design review of the mockup so far from @kylerconway :  

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
I actually love the workstation/server/etc. graphics without the circles and 
hovering slightly above and out of the containing box. It doesn't draw the eye 
as much that it's a distinct element though (but the download arrows are 
highlighted quite well).
I tend to think about these things as conversion channels -- and I realize I 
don't know what official fedora version is most downloaded (or, which fedora 
would most like to be downloaded).
Just because of shapes, sizes, and placement my eye moves right past 
workstation to the triptych at the bottom (in part due to the darker color 
background of left and right).
Is the magazine article pull going to refresh with new content? (Also, is that 
the bottom of the homepage?)

mizmoFedora Project (+fedoraproject:matrix.org)
yeh the ws one is a bit weak right now
probably should have a screenshot or illustration
yeh my thought is the mag content would get pulled from the rss

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
That's awesome for the Mag content. That part's great.
I think more people would see it (it took me a long time to know it existed, 
and the homepage would have helped).
Does this section link anywhere?
You potentially have the option of adding some guiding language that could 
break up Workstation from the other releases. I think a textual break under 
workstation might help a bit.
Workstation is what most people who don't exactly know what they're looking for 
are probably looking for (right?), and IoT, Server, and Atomic are for doing 
something different, something more.
That wallpaper looks great on the laptop though. -- first impression of that 
image is: I want this on my computer.

mizmoFedora Project (+fedoraproject:matrix.org)
yeh workstation is what everyone reviews
which section are you asking about linking?

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
Actually -- you could use the great image of the laptop next to workstation -- 
that might give it the visual bump it needs and direct the eye better.
(link question was the blue screenshot I pasted above).

mizmoFedora Project (+fedoraproject:matrix.org)
ah the pastes arent coming thru

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
Oh. It's the blue USE/MODIFY/DISTRIBUTE section.

see i thought about that but wasnt sure what would go on top. maybe an 
illustration. ill try it.
ah. i was thinking itd link to the about fedora page
w upsell on joining community
i dont know if you saw the illustration svitek did for the podcast but i love 
it, could have illustration in that style up top and push laptop to ws section

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
It's pretty big depending on what the goal is. (And, from that one project I 
did earlier about joining design, I think it would need to have more text and a 
clear clickable element for me to follow.)
I don't think I did see it, but can try to look tonight. I guess I'm just 
thinking if most people visit the page you want to see:
1) Fedora -- New Release -- Workstation -- Download now

mizmoFedora Project (+fedoraproject:matrix.org)
yeh, i think it merits the real estate tho. how we make fedora and the floss 
bit is a differentiator o think

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
2) other releases (also new): IoT, Server, Atomic)
3) Thinner call to action: learn more, join us.
4) Fresh articles from Fedora mag (i.e. we're a super-active/helpful community)
I agree -- my bias here is coming from a totally different world.
Perhaps a blend of language could work: Fedora Workstation is an innovative, 
free, easy-to-use operating system for laptop and desktop computers with a 
complete set of tools built by, and for, developers and makers of all kinds.
And some of the other language could go in the blue "who is Fedora, learn more, 
get involved" section -- still on the page. 
Take with grains of salt.
(also, I'm hoping this is useful -- let me know if I can be more useful in some 
other way) :)

mizmoFedora Project (+fedoraproject:matrix.org)
i was thinking of moving the blue block down maybe

K_REY_C[m] (IRC)
It provides a nice break for the magazine logo to attach to, but could work.
I really do like it! I just looked at the existing site again and love love 
love this one! Much easier to find download buttons, and see the different 
releases (and that laptop photo is great). Immediately visually refreshing 
(especially after the broken links with the dog!)

Release screenshots

2017-11-07 Thread Máirín Duffy
Hey,

Marketing has a release deliverable every release to produce
screenshots. Here is the F27 ticket for this work:
https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/266

It seems we are not coordinated between the websites and marketing team
on producing these and maybe are duplicating work? Last release, F26,
the spins teams didn't provide their screenshots but it seems that
spins.fpo has screenshots for all of the desktop spins. So I am
wondering how those screenshots were produced, and if we could work
together moving forward?

Cheers,

Welcome to Fedora :) The websites join page has some information on
getting our repo set up locally if you want to poke around our websites:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/ShowUs

Our web apps are a little different; each is its own project. One that I
work on is called Fedora Hubs (it's Python & Flask):

http://pagure.io/fedora-hubs

If you are interested in Django, Hyperkitty is an upstream project we
contribute to and use in Fedora and its front-end is written in Django:

https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty

Take a look around at the different projects we have, and depending on
which one you want to work on maybe we can help you figure out a project
to work on!

All of this is not constructive. Here is a suggestion as to what all of the

"Where is the website repo?"

Some specifics would be helpful.


The most critical problem I have with the website are the photos: they're 
incredibly bad. The photos are of, literally, decade-old ThinkPads


The top photo is of a Thinkpad Carbon X1 that, at the time the photo was 
taken, was a couple of months old. I believe at this point it's a little 
over a year, which makes sense since the website was launched with F21 
which was ~1 year ago.

that are completely covered in dirt and dust, running Fedora.


There is one photo, taken of an actual real Fedora user, where there is 
some light reflecting on the screen and there's some dust on the screen. 
Sure, we could process that photo to remove that. We can do that. I 
don't think it's the huge deal you're portraying it to be. Also, her 
laptop is a Thinkpad and it cannot be older than 3 years, likely was 1-2 
years old at the time of the photoshoot.


I appreciate constructive feedback, but spinning a laptop that is at 
most 3 years old to be 10 years old is really not constructive. I used a 
Thinkpad in 2006, it was a T41 and it looked quite a bit different and 
was noticeably thicker with a much smaller screen and was less 
sleek-looking.

  It's like a caricature of a Linux distro website. I find that to be very 
off-putting and unprofessional.


Again, let's be constructive. This is not.

These photos should be replaced quickly and I can't believe they've been on the 
website every time I've gone to download a Fedora image over the past two years!

This site has been active for 1 year, not 2.

  They can at least be replaced with photos of clean ThinkPads, and better yet, 
laptops where what's actually on the screen is an interesting Fedora use-case 
that is clearly visible in the photo.

If anyone can point me to the correct repository for the website, I will make 
pull requests with suggestions to make the website more reasonable, and I will 
also contribute content and try to make the page more useful and accessible to 
people interested in Fedora. Right now, the website seems to be made by Fedora 
users and seems to target people who *already* use Fedora, which is very 
near-sighted and ultimately a bad strategy.

What kinds of downloads should we list on a generic / other downloads page?

2015-09-17 Thread Máirín Duffy

Hi folks,

So this idea came up in the netinstall download info thread [1], 
although I have been thinking offhand for a while it might be a good 
idea for other reasons (eg enabling testers to find the test images more 
easily - every time I need to find a test image I can never find it. :) )


I'd like to mock something up so we can visualize what this would look 
like and if it would work, but I'm not 100% sure all of the 
downloadtypes we'd want on there. I think the primary things listed on 
the site should be those that are not featured on the main websites - 
they are not editions, spins, or labs (although we can link out to those 
sites.)


To be able to mock this up though, I need to figure out what downloads 
should be featured on the site, and we should probably talk about their 
relative merits / use cases. Here is a (perhaps not exhaustive) list of 
things we could list on this page:


- Netinstall ISOs (so these are built for specific editions, but this is 
the one exception to featuring things not normally featured I think 
would be a good idea)


- the minimal fedora image (it doesn't seem to have a home now?)

- docker containers

- Bittorrent torrent files (could just be a link to refer to torrent.fpo)

- Alternative architecture downloads

  - Digging out dl.fpo / download.fpo / alt.fpo I found x86, aarch64, 
ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, and s390 images.


- boot.fpo images

- testing images
  - nightlies
  - alpha / beta / tc / rc images

- archival images (could just point to archive.fpo)

- the everything DVD that lets you choose a desktop in syslinux that we 
hand out at conferences (does this still exist?)


Am I forgetting anything?

Hi,

On 09/16/2015 09:12 AM, Paul W. Frields wrote:

Matthew Miller pointed me at this bug:


The OP had to drop back to a netinstall when he had a bad experience
with the KDE spin.  If there are some problems with a spin, certainly
the responsible SIG can work on solving that.  But in thinking about
the reporter's comments about finding netinstall: perhaps it would
make sense for the spin site to include an unobtrusive pointer to
Workstation or Server netinstall ISO.  This might be analogous to the
Other Downloads section found on the Server and Workstation download
pages.  Thoughts?


I don't think it makes sense for individual spins to point to the 
netinstalls: the spins sites set up an expectation you're going to get a 
specific spin, and the netinstall doesn't do that for you without 
additional work.


What I think might work:

- Create a nice & cleanly-designed image listing on top of something 
like download.fpo or alt.fpo with images like netinstalls or DVDs or the 
minimal image that aren't specifically tied to a specific Fedora edition 
/ spin / lab, but are more generically "Fedora."


- Link to this generic download site in the common footers on all of 
these sites, and give a hint/tip about it in the downloads area of the 
edition / spin / lab sites as appropriate.


I do think the level of prominence of the netinstall images makes sense 
on the workstation page despite the fact they are not tightly coupled 
(people had been going to the server page to get netinstall images to 
install workstation before we added those links IIRC.) I don't know that 
netinstall images specifically need that level of prominence on the 
spins download pages. What I'd recommend there instead is just a simple 
link, "Looking for other options to install Fedora?" or something like that.


Does that make sense?

Of course, deliverables often rearrange location from release to

So we talked about this with Robyduck in #fedora-websites just now and 
Robyduck confirmed that a one-pager like the one I'm suggesting could be 
done with globalvar.py definitions and wouldn't be hard to maintain.

you did a great work, I really appreciate your help. I'm sure the design

To implement the header on the page.html template, we might need to
write a simple decorator to get the description. As you said, it doesn't
make sense to copy any texts all over.

I like the idea of DevAssistant banner as a rotation. We're thinking
about adding Vagrant and Docker.


Cool, I'm glad you like the work. Just keep us (the websites team)

 Hey all,

 Apologies for all the CC's but this spans a number of areas and I
want
 to make sure we're touching all the right lists. My main goal is to
 reach out to the Websites team, but this also touches on marketing
and
 (of course) cloud.

 As you might know, one of the changes for F23 is the two-week Atomic
 release. This means the Fedora Atomic host will be on its own cycle
and
 not released in the same cadence as Fedora Cloud, Workstation, or
Server.

 We still want to tout the work we're doing here and make it easy for
 folks to use and contribute to. Part of the proposal is to have a
 separate site (or page) that promotes Atomic specifically -
separately
 from the Cloud edition.

 So - a couple of questions:

 - where should this page live? Should it be something like
 fedoraproject.org/atomic,  atomic.fedoraproject.org, or
 projectatomic.io/fedora? (Maybe all/some of the above via redirect
magic?)

 - Do folks on the websites team have time and interest to work on
this
 in this cycle?

 If the answer to the second is yes - will any of y'all be at Flock
to
 discuss in person? If no I'd still appreciate feedback on your
 thoughts about where said page should live -- and any other
 considerations that you think are appropriate.

 Thanks!

Re: [Design-team] new Fedora Atomic sub-site - help wanted

Hi Matthew,

On 06/17/2015 08:31 AM, Matthew Miller wrote:
This calls for a new, separate http://atomic.fedoraproject.org;. I

don't, however, have anyone lined up to design or create the site
itself. So, this is a first call for help. :) Is anyone interested /
able to work on this?


To help fill out some of the needed context here that I'm not seeing on 
the wiki page [1] I have some questions -


1) Is the main rationale behind removing atomic from getfedora.org and 
separating it out into its own site that the release cycle is much more 
rapid? When we originally discussed separating Fedora out into editions, 
one of the rationales was that each edition could potentially have a 
different release cycle. Has something behind that changed?


2) How does this change the relationship between the Fedora Cloud 
edition and the Fedora atomic images, if at all? What is the overall 
Fedora Cloud Edition  story in having some components available on 
getfedora.org and some on a separate site (atomic.fpo)? Is atomic being 
distanced from the Fedora Cloud edition / no longer part of it?


3) Stepping back from even the specifics of the Fedora Cloud edition 
story in particular - are we separating cloud from containers 
somehow here? For users coming to Fedora with an interest in cloud, is 
atomic.fpo going to be something they will want to know about? For users 
coming to Fedora with an interest in containers, is Fedora Cloud Edition 
(non atomic images) something of interest to them? Are they going to be 
confused picking up docker images from getfedora.org and atomic images 
from atomic.fpo?


4) Would Docker images continue to live on getfedora.org/cloud?

5) Do you want cross-referencing between the sites, eg getfedora.org 
references atomic.fpo (I'm guessing on getfedora.org/cloud?? and maybe 
in the footer?) and atomic.fpo references getfedora.org (i'm guessing to 
getfedora.org/cloud??)


I probably have a lot more questions but they'd depend on the above answers.

See https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/96 for some
background.


The rationale I'm seeing in the links (just to reiterate to make sure 
I'm getting it right):


1) There are tools that don't work with atomic, so atomic installs need 
to identify themselves as 'atomic' so that the tools that don't work 
aren't included with it and we don't ship 'broken' bits. However, those 
tools that break it don't necessarily break 'cloud' images. 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200122)


(What I don't get here is why you couldn't allow atomic to identify 
itself as 'atomic' or even 'cloud-atomic,' have the non-atomic images 
identify themselves as cloud, and ship the atomic images on the 'cloud' 
page.)


2) There are people who would like to use atomic tech outside of the 
container host use case, eg workstation labs, so coupling atomic tightly 
to cloud could cause confusion 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200122)


Maybe. Or you could roll out atomic images to the other editions in a 
similar manner they've been rolled out on the cloud page, just follow 
the same format when (if that's planned) they are available.


3) Atomic was meant to be an option for *any* of the editions, not just 
cloud, so it shouldn't be coupled with cloud 
(https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2015-March/004996.html)


I wish I knew a little bit more about the problems atomic solves and why 
we don't have atomic versions for all of the editions already and 
whether or not they are in the plan and who would use them for what 
(although I am assuming that is a deep dive.)



My basic mental model here is that the Fedora Atomic Host is something
like a Spin rather than an Edition, except different from the normal
expectations for Spins, too — and definitely doesn't fit into the shiny
new Spins page, which focuses on alternate desktop environments. And it
doesn't seem fit into the Labs model either, since it doesn't have
featured applications (unless you count the atomic command).


For what it's worth, I don't think having featured applications is a 
requisite for being on the Labs page. That section of the page can be 
focused however is needed for Atomic if it were to be a Lab spin.



So, that's why I was thinking whole new page.


The problem with this as a solution is that there is a real cost to 
spinning up a whole separate custom site rather than fitting it into the 
framework that's already been built out - for example, any future 
upgrades done to the sites we already have in place are going to have to 
be done custom to this new site or this new site won't get those 
upgrades for free and may become more dated (as in design / style / 
adherence to the general fedora websites presence look/feel) compared to 
the others. (I do want to contrast this with taking a domain like 
'kde.fpo' and pointing it to a spin page - that's no issue, it's not 
adding a lot of overhead since it's providing a more convenient URL to 
something that's been fit into the site divisions that were established 
instead of creating something new and separate.)


What I don't see in any of the background reading is a real clear 
problem statement driving the decision. What is the exact problem to be 
solved - it seems nebulous? There seems to be reluctance in setting a 
strong direction for cloud edition / story for how atomic fits into 
Fedora in general. At least in what I've read. We should figure out a 
direction and commit to it.


Before spinning up another site I'd advise some kind of one-off 
deep-dive discussion about problem statements / goals here to try to 
come up with the best solution. I'm getting the feeling spinning up a 
new atomic.fpo is going to be a band-aid on something bigger that needs 
to be addressed.



3) Stepping back from even the specifics of the Fedora Cloud edition
story in particular - are we separating cloud from containers
somehow here? For users coming to Fedora with an interest in cloud,
is atomic.fpo going to be something they will want to know about?
For users coming to Fedora with an interest in containers, is Fedora
Cloud Edition (non atomic images) something of interest to them? Are
they going to be confused picking up docker images from
getfedora.org and atomic images from atomic.fpo?


In order: maybe (and that's possibly problematic), yes, yes, and I hope
not.

I'm definitely willing to reconsider this, and I think the Cloud SIG
would be open to consideration too — we could scrap basically
everything I said for your #1 and #2 and fit this into
https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/download/atomic.html


I think splitting two related resources into different websites is going 
to be problematic for the user experience here, based on how you've 
answered above, although I don't fully understand the type of users 
we're targeting either (I have just never done contextual interviews / 
etc with them.)


I still don't understand what

That's a question for the workstation working group - we designed the

Some of the pictures on that page are not very nice.

*The picture of the person who gives a quote is unsharp and the person
looks very stereotypical of how you expect a developer to look like
(nothing against that person).


What do you mean by unsharp?

Why would we use pictures of people who didn't look like developers to 
represent developers? We take pictures of real people who really use 
Fedora, not models. I don't see many models coding. It would be 
disingenuous at best to use a photo of a model.



*One of a pictures feature a person typing on a computer with a very
dirty screen, think this ruins the pictures as it really takes focus
from an otherwise beautiful picture and gives overall a bad impression
of the page and to some degree fedora.


If that's all it takes to leave a bad impression... wow. We can consider 
tweaking the image but I absolutely disagree with the level of 
importance here.

Yes Máirín I agree too, there are also other things we can do to
improve the wiki's homepage.
The templates aren't on the websites repo, but we have more than one
wiki admin here who could look at it.

 - I think the apps are also hard to find but I think that's going to be
 a more involved project. apps.fedoraproject.org is great for exploring
 all of them, but we may want to pull out a few (end-user focused I
 think, not developer-focus) to have more direct links on www.fpo. Does
 anybody have interest in pursuing this?

Yeah, that would be very nice. There are also other sites (apps) which
are developing fast and are very nice.
Badges, fedocal, nuancier and apps are only a few of them (more
community oriented). Perhaps we could think about including them when
starting this project.

 Hi,
 
 I have been using the fedora project web site and I have thought about
 some suggestions that as an end user can make navigation smoother and
 easier, especially to newcomers.
 
 First, I have noticed that the search box in the fedoraproject wiki
 page(fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki) is a little bit hidden
 if you are not very familiar with the wiki. I think that a better place
 could be on top of the left column(over wiki, navigation and
 sub-projects sections) or even better, on the right of page,
 discussion, view source and history tabs and just under the log in
 link, as is placed in the page admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/
 
 Second, the index site apps.fedoraproject.org and those sites that are
 indexed there are really useful, specially for fedora users. However it
 took me too much time to know about some of those wonderful sites and
 when I came across the site it was because of a google result. So I
 think it should be integrated into a most visible place. I propose to
 place a link in the main fedoraproject.org page in the top bar(e.g. in
 between help and contributors) called Resources that when accessed
 should display a page that describes briefly the resources indexed in
 apps.fedoraproject.org and a link to them. If only the main resources
 can be listed there, I think the apps.fedoraproject.org section should
 be described letting the users discover those resources that are not so
 important by themselves, nevertheless that section should be renamed to
 something like fedora project map or Resources index because the
 name apps doesn't intuitively match its purpose. 
 
 Finally if the previous idea is finally implemented, I think that the
 documentation link that is currently in the help page should be also
 available in the Resources section, as it is a valuable resource too.
 
 I think this will make navigation easier and more intuitive to fedora
 users especially to newcomers, and also make the great existent tools
 more available, since if you don't know it exists you can't use it.
 
 Sincerely, Javier

 contributors (wiki, fedorahosted, etc). As Matthew said, I also have a
 long list in my bookmarks, just because the sites are not linked
 together the right way.
 For sure these links should be more hidden, the main links and tabs
 should be and remain for end users and new users.

I just wanted to point out we need to be careful here - absolutely
contributors are users, but they really don't need as much hand-holding
as someone who is new. If you start blending users and contributors in
your head when planning out the design, you tend to drift towards the
more knowledgable and that can make for a site that is kind of
off-putting to new folks because it assumes a level of knowledge they
just don't have yet.

I think it's better to assume less knowledge, guide people through
things, and for folks who are more knowledgable, give them a separate,
streamlined place to get what they want to do done. So for example, we
could have a contributors site that has a more full set of download
links on the same page rather than the onion-layer approach we have now.
(And the onion-layer approach I think is the right one for new folks)

This is why I think making a design that is good for both is kind of
impossible. The onion layer approach (for beginners) vs. the single page
of links (for experts) are at complete odds with each other - you cannot
design the same site both ways at the same time.

This is inconsistent with our website chrome and it blocks banner
content so I'm not convinced it's the right call.

Are there patterns from other websites you're using to inform this
design? Or is it gut? I put the term 'screenshots' in 'Features 
Screenshots' the nav bar because after reviewing dozens of app and OS
websites, it's a really common thing to have in the primary nav. What
problem are you trying to solve by pulling it out and putting it in a
submenu?


 2) Drop the get-fedora-all page completely!
 This doesn't mean I don't want it's content. I'd think more of having
 no more duplicates (some spins are available on 2 or more pages) and
 complete our very nice get-fedora-options page with missing
 informations.

I don't think duplicate info is a problem. People come to sites with
different needs in mind - for someone with need a, they might go to the
one page, person with need b the other page, and the duplicate spins
might help both.

 Finally I'd like to have all spins on spins.fp.o, which means we have
 to include our spin page better in our main fedoraproject.org site to
 have the same effect as now.

What do you mean by this? Make it more visible, or integrate it? (I
think the former is okay, but I don't think we should integrate it at
all. They are not supported anywhere near the level of the main
downloads promoted on get.fpo and listing them equally will give a false
impression.)

 3) Use the get-fedora page to promote all the shipping methods
 The clearest method to do so IMHO would be to drop also the right
 random banners we have on the sidebar (Desktop, 2nd-arches, Cloud,
 Spins) and to put them into the get-fedora page. See a mockup here
 [3], althoough it's not complete (obviously I don't want to have the
 2nd-arches banner alone there and will make them nicer when writing
 the code). The banners should link to the tabs in get-fedora-options
 or to our spins page and give users a clear idea of what is available.

Why would you call out desktop specifically when the desktop edition is
already there on the page? Why would someone click on 'desktop'? Who are
you thinking would be looking for that?

I can see promoting cloud here, or even giving cloud a box like the
'Fedora 19 Desktop Edition' that says 'Fedora 19 Cloud Edition' or
whatnot. I don't like promoting spins with just a button that says spins
because people new to fedora have no idea what spins are. I could see
promoting the arm builds here since arm is pretty relevant and a lot of
people are talking about it and using it for various devices, but I'm
not quite sure s390 and ppc builds are really anywhere near as
interesting or useful to folks browsing this page.

 Same for get-pre-release:we can continue to promote it easily on the
 get-fedora page and we could also advertise it better on our main page
 (drop down menu).

Who do we want using pre-releases? The site was originally designed with
the intent of being more of a showroom for users new to or considering
Fedora. Testers know how to get pre-releases and don't need so much
guidance.

 4) Sidebar: if we want to go ahead with this kind of restyling we can
 drop a lot of stuff on our sidebar, like the rotating banners and the
 events.

Why would we want to drop that content? What problems would that solve?

 Instead of it why not use something nicer? Badges or social networks
 for example? Look at this mockup [4], I'd love it.

Do we actually have social media presences in all those venues? (I don't
think we do) We could put little icons like that for the social media
presences we do have though and have just one row.

I don't know if the sidebar is a good place for general fedora stuff
advertising - that is what we have the sliders on the front page for,
isn't it?
 
 I have created a dedicated branch (web-dl-redesign) to work on and try
 to have it all running and ready for production within F20 GA Release.
 
 Please let me know your thoughts, your ideas and improvements, I'd be
 also happy if someone wants to help me with this part of work. Kévin

 variables running the right way also for a completely new download

solve first though.

 If that's not the goal we can also keep it like it is now.

Well... we have a lot of sites :) https://apps.fedoraproject.org/ I
think www.fpo might be the only one not on that list? Looks like
spins.fpo  isn't, either. apps.fpo breaks our sites down into 4
categories, though... I think I would categorize them a bit differently
though. E.g., these all kind of focus on contributors... do we have
users who aren't contributors? (I think we do) and I think they are the
focus of www.fpo and some other sites -

- fedoraproject.org - learn about fedora, download it
- spins.fedoraproject.org - try out fedora for specific use cases
- docs.fedoraproject.org - get information/help on using fedora
- ask.fedoraproject.org - get some community support for fedora

I think everything else that we have is contributor-focused.

fedoraproject.org is almost really a splash or like a brochure for new
and prospective Fedora users right now. I guess we have to figure out if
this is okay and if we should improve it based on that current
understanding or should we change our basic understanding of the
function it serves?

 Are there patterns from other websites you're using to inform this

 Hey Máirín don't worry, all the menu links are only examples, and the
 menu is pure CSS, it's rather easy to include it and the instructions
 should be the same everywhere. No patterns, just a hide block and
 display:block on mouse-over, that's it.

Oh okay, I was looking at it more from a design perspective than
technical/implementation. E.g., I was treating the items in the list as
much more important than how the list was implemented.

 Yes, all people have different needs, but isn't this the reason why we
 should be as clear as possible when linking all the available download
 links or architectures? Duplicating links on 3 different pages is not
 really what I expect to find, as a new user I expect a download page
 which guides me clearly through the various possibilities I have.

Can you give me some specific use cases you're finding a bit muddled in
the current website? Let's walk through them. If you're a new user...
you're just going to want to try Fedora, and we make one canonical link
to do that - the default download. The other stuff is more for
exploring, but if you're new to Fedora you might not know what all of it
is (for ex. spins). What kinds of things would a new user want to find
that is difficult to find there? Cloud images, sure. Anything else?

 Yes I mean more visible, because actually we don't have enough links
 to spins.fpo, or better, they are not clearly promoted. I also don't
 like having SoaS or Security or whatever on our fedoraproject.org
 site. They should stay in spins.fp.o.

Yeh I agree 100% they should be on spins. I'm not sure how/when that
change happened.

How much do we want to promote spins? Beyond KDE, are any of the spins
really widely used? How many are well-maintained? It doesn't look like
the download numbers are listed on the site anymore.

 The only reason why KDE should remain on fp.o is that it's a main spin.

I agree. It's also very popular.

serve both?

 -- something more like the Fedora Magazine site, with
 frequently-updated curated content,
 and with related sites depending on type
 of interaction. 

The point behind the current www.fpo site was that the content would be
more frequently updated and curated, but the problem is that nobody
stepped up to actually do that work (despite a couple of attempts). Thus
we have pretty much all of the same exact tutorials and interviews that
I wrote for the initial G.A. in - 2009 I think? Just because the content
is stale now, doesn't mean if we redid it that it wouldn't get stale in
another 3-4 years. There is a problem with the content, sure, but it's
not the design, and I'm wary of building another one for more content to
grow stale in.

 I think these are
 
   - learn more - brochure site, including who we are and how to get involved
   - get fedora - download or launch the fedora products
   - user docs  help - docs.fedora, user-focused wiki* , ask fedora

We have this now

who we are? http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora
how to get involved? http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora
download the products http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
read docs http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help
ask fedora - linked to here http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help

Only missing a user-focused wiki (more on that later.)

   - contributor tools - all sorts of stuff. Usually here I'm looking for
a specific task-based thing. I want to find packaging
info, or file a ticket for some subproject or sig, or
create a new change page. Right now I have a tree of
bookmarks for this, which I think is probably a sign
of something not right. 

I think this is definitely a current weakness - but I don't think
stapling this onto www.fpo is the solution. I think there should be a
separate portal for contributors. Traditionally the wiki has been that
portal, but it's not serving that need as well as it used to.
 
 
   * we currently don't have a user-focused wiki! We have some user-focused
 things mixed in with the contributor-focused wiki, and it's confusing
 and scary. I mean scary for me, let alone new users!

A wiki is a piece of technology. What do users need that wiki technology
would provide that we aren't currently providing? Let's start with the
problem, not the implementation :)
 
 How much do we want to promote spins? Beyond KDE, are any of the spins
 really widely used? How many are well-maintained? It doesn't look like
 the download numbers are listed on the site anymore.
 
 I think this is changing with the new proposal. I'm not sure exactly what it
 will mean for non-default targets, but overall I think it will mean that
 their promotion will be more independent -- up to their individual SIGs /
 project teams.

That's pretty much how we operate now. You have a spin, you get a nice
page and listed on the directory - but it's up to you to promote it.

 Same here, I will start thinking about this, and maybe we can go to the
 board or fesco and ask for some guidance.
 
 Yes please! (Not so much just asking for guidance, but I'd love to talk more

- From a website design point-of-view, the best way of incorporating the
statement is to have a heading about it in the orange ticker tape on the

relates to internet censorship. Both should click through to the

- Does anybody have ideas for graphics to go along with the slide text?
Some ideas we had:

  - keep it completely black or a black gradient
  - have a black background with outlines of people that have 'censored'

You don't need to reinstall your system. Totem does support everything
we claimed as I tested each use case before we created that write-up for
our website. (I use Totem *all* the time to watch videos of all
different formats myself as well as over UPNP, FWIW, and stand by what
we said.) Out-of-the-box, we support free formats only (rationale here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_Patents#There_are_free_and_open_software_implementations_of_the_codecs._Why_don.27t_you_include_them.3F
 ) but you can install add-ons that support additional formats. 

Here's more information with tutorials:

Hope this helps,

   Right now the interface feels very clunky, and the full page

Hi Karsten,

On Mon, 2010-11-01 at 17:10 -0700, Karsten Wade wrote:
 Right, that's fine; like Ian, I was mainly pointing out that the
 wiki[1] is (at least) dual-purpose, so putting a link to it's
 front-page might come from two different purposes.

The reason I put the link in the navbar was specifically to support
contributors. A contributor might want to look up the developer schedule
(linked to from the wiki front page) or look up a SIG or use the search
box to look up meeting minutes. I think the wiki would probably be most
useful with an interface similar to the front of google.com to be
honest.

For users, the website itself is speckled with direct links to useful
documentation on the wiki. I believe sending someone new to Fedora to
the front page of a wiki is a really bad idea (too much jargon, too much
content that has little to do with their needs), so we approached it by
sending them to targeted wiki pages based on specific contextual needs.

Ultimately I think it would be awesome to have a version of Fedora
Community (http://admin.fedoraproject.org/community) that covered all
contributors, not just package maintainers, had knowledge of common
workflows and guided folks through them, and worked properly such that
the wiki wasn't really necessary. You want to use fedora, you go to
fedoraproject.org, you want to create/work-on fedora, you go to
something like fedoracontributors.org. 

 What is the front page of the wiki as a destination? 

- A searchbox to insider info
- An exhaustive listing of subprojects
- Updated general news about the project (current active release,
current schedule)

I have to say 99% of my own visit to fedoraproject.org/wiki are to
access its searchbox.

 Considering what is now on the real front page, the top bits of the
 wiki front page looks repetitive.  Perhaps it should be trimmed to the
 two identified purposes and make the gateways clear: end-user
 tutorials[2] and pages for contributors-by-contributors.  The latter
 would be where to link Contributors from the fp.o front page.

 Then we link to those two gateway pages instead of the front page of
 the wiki.  Otherwise, the _only_ reason I can see to link to /wiki
 directly is to say, Here is our wiki, loveable mess that it is.
 (Read below for my argument that a wiki is not just a technology.)

That kind of sounds like a splash page to me, and generally splash pages
are a bad idea. Why not just make a decision and decide the wiki is
pages for contributors-by-contributors?

The thing is, having documentation repeated on docs.fpo and on the wiki
is really confusing. *I* actually am not sure which I should be using
and I generally look to docs.fpo first and point non-contributor users
to docs.fpo only. The only documentation that I see in that directory
that isn't on docs.fpo is documentation on using the wiki itself
(Help:Wiki structure, Help:Editing) or are definitely
contributor-specific (Creating GPG Keys, Infrastructure Licensing, Fonts
spec template notes). 

I think users who aren't contributors would be better served by a
knowledgebase than the wiki... I mean, here's some common first-time
user questions that have been raised in my Girl Scouts class and the
wiki results:

= How do I play youtube videos?

Search terms: youtube

- Features/Swfdec
- QA/Meetings/20100222
- Upstream Release Monitoring
- FWN/Issue110
- KulbirSaini

= How do I install new software?

Search terms: install software

- File:Tours Fedora8 009 Install Software.png
- File:LuyaTshimbalanga AnacondaGUIEnhanced anaconda Install Default
Software-mockup.png
- ... lots of images
- Anaconda/NetworkIssues
-Interviews/EricSandeen
- Packaging:PHP

= How do I move files from my computer to my USB stick? (or vice-versa)

Search terms: move files

- Interviews/EricSandeen
- MichaelPeters
- Packaging:Minutes20070626
- Infrastructure/Meetings/2007-02-08
- Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20060831

Search terms: transfer files

- Legal:Licenses/LicenseAgreement1
- Interviews/EricSandeen
- FWN/Issue95
- EPEL/Reports/Week51
- Legal:Licenses/LicenseAgreement7

These results are pretty bad. Try answering those questions without
search, starting from the front page. Pretend you are a girl scout if
you have to. It will start looking pretty hopeless 3 or 4 clicks in.

 [1] Somewhat OT: On your point about wiki == a technology, I think
 it is more than just a technology brand/type (as Drupal is a
 brand/type of CMS.)  It also means a certain type of highly successful
 open community documentation and collaboration.

I think wikis are a great way for contributors to collaborate, and
absolutely have the potential to be highly successful, and some really
have been. In many cases, though, they are confusing, unpolished, and
often out-of-date for users who have no immediate intention of
contributing.

I say this having done several usability tests that involved going to
our wiki (via the website or google results) to try to figure out
something and ended in confusion

Hi folks,

Here's the bugs I've seen reported here, on identi.ca, or on IRC. Let me
know if you're aware of any others. We should probably set up another
wiki page. :) AFAIK only one has a ticket.

By the way, thanks to everyone reporting the issues they see. Keep them
coming if you've got them - please try to note your web browser, version
number, screen resolution, and anything else that might be appropriate.
For visual bugs, screenshots are extremely helpful.

Open

• First page load, slideshow 'throws up' over screen. Shift+reload
appears to resolve the issue. Not sure why though. Cached CSS?
• Zoom in at 5x - download button on front page slide disappears
• Turn off JS - weird things happen
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/30
• Green on the downloads pages is too intense green (mattl on identi.ca)
• More spacing on main navbar would be nice if possible (mattl on
identi.ca)
• Typo on get fedora  by format: s/by formats/by format
• Fedoracommunity.org didn't launch, link to it points to plain
index.html
• On the front page [1] displays only English version of countdown
banner (regardless of the language selected), here [2] everything is
fine. (Alexander Smirnov)
• from dbs on identi.ca @fabsh New fedoraproject.org site looks weird on
Chromium on Fedora 13 64-bit for me; fine with Firefox though.
http://imgur.com/mhqjq.png
• identica: @qu1j0t3 . http://fedoraproject.org/en/about... // great
start, but too text heavy. refactor
• '¿' character for es is mirrored for some bizarre reason - noticeable
on the front page. A bug with Cantarell? Appears to work fine with
Comfortaa.
• Misc Windows issues, documented here:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/websites/2010-October/008716.html

Difficult to reproduce

• slideshow images not loading at all for Gurhan Ozen, mizmo will try to
reproduce with him

Resolved

• notting ran into a weird issue where the title on the first slide was
rendering much too small. it turned out to be client-side CSS he didn' t

 Hi guys,
 
 This morning I've been working on the redesigned Fedora Help page.
 This is what I've got so far:
 
 http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/fedorahelp/helpfpo-redesign-2010_mockup1.png
 http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/fedorahelp/helpfpo-redesign-2010_mockup1.svg
 (source)
 
 The idea is that first, the most frequently asked questions are
 displayed. If a user's question isn't in there, he or she can search
 the Documentation. Then, if it still can't be found, the user can take
 action him or herself and ask the question on IRC, the mailing list or
 the Fedora Forums.
 
 What do you think? Does this order make sense? Have I the main support 
 systems?

This is great! One thing I would throw in there - maybe make it a second
column in the FAQ section - is the common bugs list which I believe gets
updated every release with the most frequently-reported issues  has
workarounds listed where possible - 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/Common

I think if we can work that in somehow then this page is pretty perfect!

:)

 What tasks do folks need to accomplish?
 
 I think that the majority of people coming to the site are going to
 want to see what Fedora can do, sort of like a showcase of sorts. From
 there, they should be able to easily download the distribution, and be
 able to join as a contributor.

The websites team actually wrote up a top ten tasks we'd like users to
be able to do on the website when we first kicked off the project around
F11. (more on the history is here:

Hi Gianluca!

Thanks for this discussion :)

 Fedora (redesigned)
 1. go to fedoraproject.org
 2. click on Community  I guess this will link to fedoracommunity.org) 

It will, but not directly. There will probably be a banner ad or
something like that on the www.fpo/community page to drive traffic to
fedoracommunity.org.

 3. Select the region
 4. find Italy, only one website listed

Are there more Italian websites we should be linking to? I used the
following wiki page to populate the site:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/International

I tested every website on that page. You'll note two of the four
websites there are not functional as clearly noted. Since I went through
that wiki page it looks like this site has been added, should I added it
to Fedoracommunity.org?

http://www.adamantio.net/modules.php?name=Newsfile=topicstopic=47

I've already posted a couple of calls for help on the ambassadors list -
for folks to go over the site and let us know if we were missing
anything - and of course we are still open to more suggestions!!

 5. figure you need to click on the EMEA link (goes to wiki)
 6. find Italy and follow the links to site, mailing list, wiki, forum, etc.

I don't understand your steps 5  6 above. There are general region-wide
resources at the top of the EMEA page. As far as I know there is NO
mailing list / wiki / forum for Italy. If there is, can you please let
me know? I'll be more than happy to add them.

Re: start.fedoraproject.org image still shows as Fedora 12 and not 13

 The old reference is still in your browser cache; I have confirmed that
 it is the correct version when you refresh without cache (Ctrl-Shift-R
 in most browsers).

We can fix that by putting an expires meta tag in the html, no?
