not all mirrors are created equal - 2 suggestions

by Nada O'Neal

Hi webmaster, I'm physically located at Columbia University, so when I tried to download a Fedora 13 install DVD iso from either of these two pages: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#architecture http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all I went straight to the Columbia mirror - which, by the way, is pretty awesome. But, Columbia does not have the DVD iso files, either for 32-bit or 64-bit: http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/... http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/ ... I'm going to try to complain to the right people here about that. (ha ha!) But, I wanted to suggest for your website that: (a) it might be possible, in the magic you're using to connect people to the closest mirror, to also double-check that that mirror has the file available, and if not, connect the person to the next-closest; and (b) it might also be possible to make it a little more intuitive to know where to go if the mirror is broken. These are whiny because in real time, it took me maybe all of two minutes to find the "all download methods" in the lower right corner, then find the "let me look around..." "see all mirrors" links at the bottom of that page, but of course two minutes of real time is seven million years of subjective web navigation time. Some kind of "mirror broken?" direct link might work. Thanks. - Nada O'Neal

[fedora-websites] #5: Adding mirror links to support tab template

by fedora-badges

#5: Adding mirror links to support tab template -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Component: General Version: | Keywords: -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Add 'torrent trouble? download link to download.fedora.redhat.com, using language similar to ticket 3, in the support tab template for all spins. This work should not be done until mmcgrath has set up the spins on download.fedora.redhat.com though, and the links should use the mirror round-robin links. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/5> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #23: Create index of available Fedora community websites

by fedora-badges

#23: Create index of available Fedora community websites ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: caillon | Owner: webmaster Type: task | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ During our April 29, 2010 Board Meeting [1] we approved fedora-uk.org and Mike McGrath set up a redirect from uk.fedoraproject.org to it. In the course of discussion about that, we agreed it would be useful if www.fedoracommunity.org (currently returns a 500) would be able to list all such fedoracommunity sub-domains. This would allow greater visibility for the Fedora community sites we've granted TLAs. Note that some of these are redirects to other sites and some are physically hosted by us. Let me or the Board know if we can help or if there are any questions. Thanks in advance.

Call for help

by Ian MacGregor

Greetings, Ian MacGregor here, I'm the wiki tender for the Fedora Classroom. I have been asked several times lately about how to edit the Fedora Wiki. Some folks are finding typo's and grammar errors and wish to help improve the wiki but don't know how to edit or are unfamiliar with the mediawiki syntax. Currently there is a request for a "How to use the fedoraproject.org wiki" class on the classroom page. I do not yet have the expertise to be able to properly give a class on this topic but I'm betting there are some Websites Team members who do. So, I'd like to ask the team for help. If you feel you have the skills and can teach a class on how to use/edit the fp.o wiki, please consider signing up to give a class. Even if you aren't able give a class on this subject, perhaps there is a class request that you can fulfill. Information about teaching a class can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Teaching_a_class The current list of requested classes can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Suggest_a_class I maintain the classroom/archives pages and I also post the class schedule to the Fedora Forums calendar. Let me know if you need assistance in setting up a class and I will do my best to help. -- Regards, Rev. Dr. Ian MacGregor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ardchoille42

[Fedora Infrastructure] #1983: file is corrupted: maniadrive-music-1.0-2.fc8.noarch.rpm

Re: [Fedora Infrastructure] #1657: VCS links are hard to find

#1657: VCS links are hard to find ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: kiilerix | Owner: webmaster Type: bug | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Comment (by kiilerix): Yes, (fortunately) not all projects use git, so it is really the content of the relevant line from https://fedorahosted.org/web/ that is interesting. Yes, projects could put it on the wiki. However: 1. The information is more relevant at https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/browser 2. It seems slightly fragile that the different parts of a projects fedorahosting has to be connected on the wiki. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1657#comment:7> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.

Although, looking at the trac page closely, the information could be simply added to the project's wiki page. That's a more likely location to find the 'git clone' info than fedorahosted.org/web/. I'm looking at this as an example: https://fedorahosted.org/2to3c/wiki -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1657#comment:6> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.
