=== Mockup Work ===
 
[[User:luya|Luya Tshimbalanga]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-October/003556.html</ref> his mockups for an Anaconda redesign "I started to work on initial Fedora installer mockup[1]. The concept is based on openSUSE first screen installer (GRUB) and uses design team default typeface", [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] explained<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-October/003557.html</ref> is a bit early for this task before an usability study "I think it's fine to work through visual design ideas right now, but we
haven't really begun a usability assessment of Anaconda so I also think it's a bit too early to start mocking up the UI screen-by-screen" and proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-October/003560.html</ref> the Fedora 15 development cycle for this "Yep definitely, once F14 is out the door I definitely want to start working with the Anaconda team and post stuff here on-list as well as on
the wiki."

Fedora 15 Ahead

As the release cycle for Fedora 14 ended, is time to start the cycle for the next one, and Martin Sourada updated[1] the development page for Fedora 15[2] taking in the consideration the general release schedule[3] and the experiences learned from past releases "I've put together initial key milestones for schedule for f15 artwork, based on the previous schedule and proposed main f15 release schedule dates. Based on experience I've changed some details compared to last time."

One Page Release Notes

Fedora 14 is released but the One Page Release Notes[1] is still work-in-progress and Paul Frields asked[2] for an updated graphic banner "I bet that, if someone combined that template with the photo found on slide 4 of the top banner on http://fedoraproject.org/ and updated the release number to 14, you'd have a stupendous banner for our one page release notes page", task which was quickly accomplished[3] by Jef van Schendel.
