https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/24
- STATUS:
- Threads on FAB found here:
- Mockups found here:
- UPDATE:
- Wiki page created here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009
- Have the requirements been developed successfully?
- Target audiences proposed
- Some comments on driving community participation, task oriented
- Some requirements also found in Board notes here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_meeting_2009-07-30
- Do mockups show progress toward the desired goal?
- Board should provide feedback now to minimize drag
- Descriptions about download methods (torrents, direct FTP/HTTP, metalinks) and provide all those methods somehow.
- Sometimes too much information on a page?
- The pages are trying to grow the total appeal of Fedora, with the goal of increasing contributor stickiness
- possibility of packaged behaviors to affect spins
- Board should provide feedback now to minimize drag
- poelstra: thought: to more objectively review the mock-ups shouldn't we be able to take the "requirements" and compare them to the pages... almost in a checklist type way? I think the wiki page is a good way to sum up the requirements to aid in this
big improvements
- logo and branding is very clear
- much more simplified definition of what people can expect
- clear call to action for download
- makes a personal connection
<paul's pontification begins> ;-)
- shows that Fedora is "fun" or "cool"
- cool and fun can encourage more people to become involved
- publicly proclaim what we do well
<paul's pontification ends>
