Here is [[how to fix bugs on the Fedora Project website]].


These are projects with specific goals actively being worked on for the F12 release cycle. They're in rough order of the priority discussed at the [[/Meetings/2009-06-19|2009-06-19 meeting]], But remember, ''you'' decide priority by ''voting with your feet'' and ''doing things'' to move these projects forward.
Patches can be sent to our {{fplist|websites}} list.

''Needs a description of the goal.''
 
If you are a Fedora project contributor you now have the chance to start your own fedora project blog.  It is hoped that these blogs will allow a variety of contributors a voice brought together under a single look and feel site.
 
To get a blog simply follow the [http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/wp-signup.php sign-up] process.
 
Blogs are available to those that meet the following criteria:-
 
:* You need an [[Account_System|FAS]] account.
:* Logged in with your new FAS account you need to complete the Contributors License Agreement: [[/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CompleteCLA|How-to complete the CLA]]
:* 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.


And that's really all there is to it, so get blogging!

Welcome

The Fedora Websites initiative aims to improve Fedora's image and to create the best possible interface for users and contributors on the Internet.

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.
