Fedora Insight

Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. Insight makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists -- people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community -- to keep up with recent highlights without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

This wiki page is for people interested in working on and contributing to Fedora Insight itself.

Development
If you know something about Drupal or are a fast learner, we welcome you! We are working on designing the next group of features for Insight. Here are the use cases we've outlined thus far:


 * Insight use cases for calendar
 * Insight use cases for status and microblogging
 * Insight use cases for events

We're also starting to look forward to Drupal 7, and have started documenting critical path requirements for a future migration to Drupal 7 from Dupal 6:


 * Insight Drupal 7 Dependencies

Marketing
The Marketing team will be publishing its release deliverables on Fedora Insight, and will be the second users of the platform after.

We're currently figuring out additional content (other than our release deliverables) that would go into the. Our current thinking is several ideas that have been filed as multiple tickets in the Marketing trac instance.

If you want to help with the Marketing side of things, do the following:
 * 1) Follow the instructions in the  section of this page.
 * 2) Join the Marketing team, if you aren't already a member.
 * 3) Email the marketing list and let the Marketing team know you're interested in helping with Fedora Insight.

Packaging
We could always use packaging help for Drupal and related modules. If you see an unassigned (NEW) bug in this tracking list, that means there is a package review needed so we can make more progress. The Package Review Process page will show you how to do a review. It takes some time to do a good package review, but in the process you can learn some technical skills and about how this process ensures a good experience for Fedora users installing software.
