Sorry for the latency here - my life's been pwned by the Fedora release, but I think I'm back now (after having gotten more sleep. Mm. Sleep.)

Actually, I mean http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick. I suppose it depends on what you mean by "contributors portal." Here's what I see as the 4 main pages for this release - mostly explaining my thinking here, so that alternatives/revisions can be suggested. 1. http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas - is the first thing people new to SoaS should be directed to, in terms of getting a high-level, user-focused project overview, downloading the software, and using it for the first time (and documentation for download and usage). This is our "product page" 2. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick - is the main contributors portal, by which I mean it's the first thing people interested in contributing to SoaS should be directed to. (Right at the top is the link to the shiny product page for those looking to be users.) I know this is the main page indexed, highest-ranked on search results, etc - this is deliberate, since we want to present ourselves as an open source project and community that *produces* a product (insert shiny spins.fedoraproject.org product page here) in order to calibrate expectations and encourage users to become contributors - of feedback or otherwise - from the get-go. 3. http://openhatch.org/+projects/Sugar%20on%20a%20Stick - is where we keep track of contributors and starter tasks... or rather, where we will. Haven't really started using this yet, but it's something we're talking directly with the OpenHatch developers about re: how they can tweak OpenHatch to make it useful for us in terms of getting new contributors of all sorts (especially nontechnical) started. 4. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Mirabelle - is the Mirabelle-specific page with highlights on the latest release, press coverage for it, etc. (whereas the main SoaS contributors portal is about how to help with releases in general). > The pancake button should really be near the top - it's a golden rule > to simplify the path to a main download.

I'll ask the Fedora Websites team (which maintains and creates these pages for spins) about browser compatibility - good catch. Probably just wasn't tested on browser versions that far back. --Mel _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
