[fedora-websites] #88: Add link to signature just next to link to installation media

#88: Add link to signature just next to link to installation media -------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: ppisar | Owner: webmaster Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: get.fp.o | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -------------------------+------------------------ Current web site with link to installation media (https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora or https://fedoraproject.org/en /get-fedora-options) does not provide cryptographic signatures necessary to verify integrity. There is only a link ''Verify Download'' six sections underneath which is to far. I propose following improvement: Put link to signature right next to shiny Download links. If the datails about size are important enough, a link to signature could be there too. Like: {{{ Download Now! 605MB, ISO format image for Intel-compatible PCs (32-bit), signature }}} Where the ''signature'' label would point to to /pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Live/i686/Fedora-16-i686-Live-CHECKSUM. See [http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/160387 fedora-devel maling list] for discussion. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/88> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #100: Fedoraproject.org banner (not being dynamic) problem

by fedora-badges

#100: Fedoraproject.org banner (not being dynamic) problem ------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: nippur | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: www.fp.o | Version: Production Keywords: banner, translation, website | Blocked By: Blocking: | ------------------------------------------+------------------------- The amber(features & screenshot), green(downloads), pink?(community), blue(using fedora) and purple(help) color banners at fedoraproject.org are not big enough/don't automatically expand if the (translated) string is more than one line. Text is lost when translation can't be 'one line wide' due to local word length/syntax. Suggested is 'it depends of your browser, probably because "em" font size is used and not px' in combination with website design not being dynamic. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/100> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #129: Some links are i686 while others are i386. Consistency update?

#129: Some links are i686 while others are i386. Consistency update? -------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: shaiton | Owner: webmaster Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -------------------------+------------------------ That would be better to have only one reference for the INTEL 32b arch. Actually we have i686 and i363, depending on the release and/or build. We need to check if we can't use only one reference, and see with the releng why they name them differently for each release.. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/129> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small

by fedora-badges

#246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small -----------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: General | Keywords: css font size Blocked By: | Blocking: -----------------------+--------------------------- fedora.css, which all Fedora websites are encouraged to use, has this right at the top: body { font-size: 76%; background: #FFFFFF url(../images/border-left.png) 0 0 repeat-y; } It's been there for years, since before the stuff was imported to git, so its history may be obscure at this point, but Googling around, it looks like 76% was considered a 'rule' by some so-called authorities at some point. http://www.sitepoint.com/css-font-sizing-tutorial/ has mention of it in the comments, http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=17583 has some chatter about it, http://www.baekdal.com/insights/new-minimum-font-size is from 2005 and cites 76% as the new *minimum* recommended font size, etc. I think it's pretty unarguably too small for the modern day, though. Taking the standard 'base size' for browsers - 16px - and using the 96dpi convention, text at '76%' is 12.16px in size, which is equivalent to 9pt. How many people do you know who have their desktops set to a 9pt font on a modern system? Particularly a modern *laptop*. Reading text on Fedora sites on most systems without zooming or overriding the CSS or setting a large minimum px size in your browser (which is undesirable for other reasons) is a pretty tiring experience even for me, and I still have effectively perfect eyesight for reading text; it must be more or less impossible for anyone with somewhat less than perfect eyesight. Yes, this is the thing Felix Miata is always banging on about, but you know what? Now I spent a day actually looking into this stuff, he's absolutely damn right. Sorry, Felix. I hope this post was calm and reasonable enough and brought enough numbers. :) -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/246> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #211: EC2 AMI listing does not render in Firefox 3.6.14

#211: EC2 AMI listing does not render in Firefox 3.6.14 -----------------------+----------------------- Reporter: imcleod | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: www.fp.o | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: -----------------------+----------------------- When using Firefox 3.6.14 I see neither a table nor a set of dropdown boxes under the "EC2 images" section here: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#clouds This is, of course, a very "old" Firefox running on an older and unsupported Fedora release. However, I'm told that the page in question should gracefully adapt to older browsers, and it doesn't seem to be doing so. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/211> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #267: Prepare websites for F21 Alpha release

by fedora-badges

#267: Prepare websites for F21 Alpha release -----------------------+----------------------- Reporter: robyduck | Owner: webmaster Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: www.fp.o | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: -----------------------+----------------------- We are moving towards Fedora 21 Alpha and this time we will have some more changes on the webpages, although we will '''NOT''' switch to the new layout for prerelease versions. So, as for the other Alpha releases we need to: * Add Alpha banner * change globalvar.py accordingly * add checksums * check DL links The release schedule actually doesn't have a release date, it's still ''not earlier than August 5th'', so our script for the the upcoming Beta and GA release dates probably will not work properly. Remember the images will not be the same as for F20: we will have 3 prodcucts and accordingly we should keep only 3 jquery tabs, without preferring any product on the main get-prerelease page. Server WG asked and obtained a different deadline for Alpha release, that means we need to keep in mind Server will be released later than Cloud and Workstation. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/267> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

About Fedora-20 Live download page

by Mariko Ozu

Dear person in charge, I am writing to let you know how first-time user to the Fedora download is suffer from inaccurate description of the version in which it misses the notice that the distribution version might require INTERNET-CONNECTION WHEN BOOTING, thus I would like to ask you to improve the website so as that any user can find that information before trying many times of booting in vain due to lack of the internet connection. Thanks. best regards Mariko Ozu

Maybe it's time to say goodbye to start.fedoraproject.org?

by Elad Alfassa

Hello Websites and Desktop lists. I think it's time we drop our usage of start.fedoraproject.org as the default start page for Firefox in Fedora and simply use the firefox about:home page as the default starting page for the browser. What do you think? Generally, the start page was designed to somehow be a gateway for Fedora to encourage people to participate and contribute. But I'm not sure if it really works. Reasons why I think it's time for this page to go: * We got numerous of complaints about inappropriate planet fedora posts that appeared there. Having contributor-generated content in the start page seems like a bad idea in hindsight. Most of the Planet posts are also not very relevant (or inviting) for people who are not already part of the community. * The design is a bit too simplistic, yet since the current design was introduced nobody had the time/energy/will to think of / implement anything better. To be frank, it's kinda ugly - and I think I'm allowed to say this because I'm the one who implemented (and if I recall correctly, also "designed" it). * Our "main goal" used to be "gaining contributors" and getting people involved with the project. While this goal still remains intact, it's no longer our main driving force (at least for the Wrokstation product), but rather "build the best OS for software developers" - as such it would be better if the start page would be actually *usable* for our target audience. Gaining contributors remains a goal, but it shouldn't affect our UI/UX decisions. fwiw it's not the first time I've suggested the removal of this page. I want input on this from both Desktop and Websites before I file a bug for the Firefox package to drop this default. Of course we will have to have start.fedoraproject.org online still for at least another cycle, because people might still have it as their homepage (I've seen a few, they don't really look at the page and just go to the address bar directly). We could, for example, replace it with some sort of "contributor hub" page with resources, workflows and practical guides on how to get involved for new contributors (ie. reuse the start.fpo name, *not* use a contributor hub as a homepage) but I don't know if anyone has the time, energy and will to implement and maintain such thing. -- -Elad Alfassa.
