Great idea no matter how many times it comes up! Thanks to the way this package works, midstream updates should be possible if a site pops up that takes the community by storm.
I'm not sure if I get your read on Jonathan's idea. Are you saying, as I think Rahul did in a separate list, that this is already covered in the default bookmarks?
Lol yes, my idea was for an actual presence on the homepage...
If that is what you mean, the reason I asked Jonathan to bring it up here is:
- We could really give attention to some sites we want to give a
marketing boost to
...and that will provide an improved end-user experience of Fedora and encourage people to discover more about Free Culture (as I like to call it) in general - at least is my take.
- We can remove them later, just draw attention to them for launch and a
while afterward
On the other side of the argument ...
- Do we want the homepage to become an advertising medium? This seems a
step in that direction. Maybe that is OK, maybe not ...
I wouldn't think pointing to one or two sites which are arguably related to the goals of the fedora project would equal advertising - at least not in traditional sense which would lead to your next conclusion.
I think I like the idea, but I'm a bit concerned about people losing faith in the homepage because it seems advertising v. informative.
