Coming up with a list of suggested guidelines and tests against which new and modified websites can be evaluated - things like checking that it works on various browsers, screen resolutions, etc. See [[/Heuristics]]. Nobody is working on this.

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.

Bugs that are related to the Fedora Documentation Project can be reported using this template .

Open Tasks

If you are interested in working on some of our open tasks. Take a look at our tickets

These tasks can vary from html/css changes to python scripting.

Projects

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 2009-06-19 meeting, But remember, you decide priority by voting with your feet and doing things to move these projects forward.

Decision making process

Articulate and document the consensus-based decision making process of the websites team.

Team: Sijis Aviles (lead)

Next steps:

  1. Ricky to send a draft here's-how-to-present-your-patch-to-the-list checklist to the mailing list

Translations

Make sure all webpages are translated for the F13 release.

Team: Nobody yet! Please help!

(We aren't actually worrying about this until the end of July, but if you are interested in picking this up and keeping us from panicking then, that would be awesome. Please email the list if you are keen on this, and someone will respond to you.)

User gallery

Create a gallery for mini-interview-style user profiles and stories. This may end up being in conjunction with existing projects/frameworks/pages such as Community.

Communicating

Mailing List

The mailing list behind this effort is the websites mailing list. All contributors to this effort and interested third-party site maintainers should join this list.

IRC

The #fedora-websites channel on freenode is the best place to go for chat.

Meetings

Details about the regular meetings for the Fedora Websites team can be found on the Meetings page.

Resources

CSS and Images

One can find all CSS files and images used in the Fedora sites on the web and we encourage the community to use them directly from our urls in a cascading implementation.

This is especially true when working on official fedoraproject.org domains ( things on this list ):

Websites/DomainsList

Fedora CSS in your application

Load the main Fedora CSS file

fedora.css

And then load your custom css file and override elements as needed. Something like:

main

Fedora Images in your application

Images simply need to be loaded via their 'href' attributes' url:

<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/paulfrieldstv2.png">

results in a webpage:
