:* You need an [[Account_System|FAS]] account.

:* You also need to be a member of a group that is not directly related to the CLA process - take a look at the sub-projects on the wiki to see which suits you and your own expectations.  Alternatively follow the process which starts at [http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora Join Fedora] and see which groups you may be interested in joining.

About Fedora Websites

The key goals of this effort include:

  • Consolidating all key Fedora websites onto one uniform scheme
  • Maintaining content that doesn't fall under any particular sub-project
  • Generally, making the sites as fun and exciting as the project they represent

In order to better achieve these goals, as well as to benefit the community, the work of this project will involve third-party site maintainers where possible. The direct work of this project is limited to the formal Fedora site.

Work on specific sections of the sites will be coordinated by the appropriate projects. A great deal of coordination will be necessary with the Fedora Infrastructure Team , Fedora Documentation Project and the Fedora Marketing Project .

For a list of community websites, see the CommunityWebsites page.
