Why not something like this:
http://start.ubuntu.com/current/?sourceid=hp
Fedora logo at top, Google Search (Fedora could take revenue itself or
share it with Mozilla or whatever it wants) and a few important links
below with icons.
Because of the way Fedora is set up, it's difficult for it to do
anything directly with revenue. That isn't really a viable option.
One option and I would encourage Fedora to do this is to add a
survey
asking what users want to see on your current start page and provide
some mockups and different ideas and go with what your users want.
Except the start page should also be useful for new users. If they're
new, they have no idea what they want yet.
(Aside: please don't top post.)
