"So I would like to propose that we make some extremely short-term
changes to get.fpo right now, as we strive towards the full get.fpo [1]
and www.fpo [2] redesigns that will drive traffic to and integrate with
spins.fpo in the fashion we'd originally intended:

  • Where it says, 'KDE fans, go here!' on the current get.fpo, we replace
    that text with: 'Go to KDE and other spins!' and it will instead link to
    spins.fpo -
    http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

  • On the buttom of the column of blue buttons on the right, we place the
    attached banner to link users over to spins.fpo"


I think 'KDE fans, go here' would be better off being redirected to http://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/ and also there is a link to the spins page at the bottom ('See all custom spins') already.

Hi Hiemanshu -- the suggestion is actually to ''change'' that text to "Go to KDE and other Spins," and then link it directly to the front http://spins.fedoraproject.org page. That way we are sending people to the full list.

This change is simply a stop-gap measure to show off the spins.fedoraproject.org page while the other redesign work is being completed. We want to increase the visibility and usefulness of that page in the meantime. Does that make better sense now?

I've attached a diff with the button KDE button changed as suggestion, which is also pointing to spins.fp.o.

Let me know if this is what you expected and when its expected to be committed.

Paul,

My bad, I read it wrong.

Sijis,

Looks good here. Lets wait for Paul to comment now :)

Looks fine here, tried the patch and test looks good.

changes have been pushed to f13-alpha branch.

I missed one of the ideas Mo Duffy had. If you look at this other message, she attached a banner and requested that it be added at the bottom of the right-side download button group.

Can I add that to the request? I apologize for not seeing that change and putting it in this ticket earlier!

updated the sidebar to include the spins-banner image.
I left the header message (There's More Fedora!), as noted in the mockup. Without it, the banner didn't really have a reference.
