Team, So, my best skill is not designing stylish and good lookin' websites. I can hack things along, but that is what they end up looking like. I'm submitting a request for design ideas for a Fedora Pastebin. I started something, it works, it looks ok; but the graphics are not mine. On that note, if the graphics used are yours... may we use them? ;-) I found them on the wiki. Anywho, I'd love ideas and proposals. If anyone has time to do a mock up, or even just give feedback, that would be awesome. The second request is for a Fedora Search System. Again, I can hack something together, but would rather spend the time actually making the search system work well. Any feedback and design mockups are very welcome. * Pastebin: http://f3dora.org/ (or http://paste.fedoraunity.org) ... (or hopefully also http://paste.fedoraproject.org/). The pastebin runs on turbo gears using the Stickum codebase (http://code.google.com/p/stickum/) which uses the genshi engine. I can port any design over to the template engine so don't restrict yourself worrying about what templating engine is in use. * Search System: http://searchfedora.org/ . This system has not been worked on for quite some time now. I just ran out of free time. I've started working on it again. It is really going to be awesome. I'd really like a kickass design for it as I see this system bringing great value to the community. I'm hoping I have time to fix it up in the next few days. I've been packaging up the code that runs it the last day or so and expect to run another index soon. The template engine is fairly homebrew, but has very, very few limitations. I'm looking to integrate a cool image I've found on the wiki ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/Mascot?action=AttachFile&do=get... ) but really can't spend time designing the interface while at the same time working on the backend. I really hope there is some interest from this team to be a part of these two projects. I'll end up hacking together designs for both if I don't find any takers. Thanks for working on Fedora! We all appreciate the hard work our websites team puts into the look and feel of our presence on the Internet.

So we have a choice of using a non-branded Fedora pastebin where we have no influence over the look and functions of the pastebin, or we end up with users using a "commercial" pastebin (read: pastebin with advertisements). We can also develop a client that can be yum installed for helping users share needed information. Inclusive, we could have predefined tests to help us better support users via IRC. Example: irc-help --profile ... will give us something like: uname -a; lspci [...] we could even import smolt stuff (and even have the pastebin pass off the smolt profile). There are lots of neat things we can do that will both help our IRC users and those that support them. If done correctly, the fedora pastebin would also be integrated with other fedora systems. We could start FAQ items from issues found on the pastebin. Integration with bugzilla. This discussion should be another thread if others want to brainstorm.
