start.fedoraproject.org has many problems [0], mainly:

You can help
I've tried, but the general agreement of the design team was that the page is useless
- it doesn't serve a clear function
Yes it is, it shows me the awesome Fedora logo many times a day :)
Not really useful. you can put a sticker next to your screen instead, if you want.

effect their opinion about Fedora.
I suggest we just drop this page completely and use the default firefox about:home start page instead. Thoughts?
As seen before this page is used, to get people on the Planet.
The planet is not really interesting for end-users, and contributors already have them in their RSS readers.
And about:home will work only on Firefox, where we can actually set start.fpo to the home of every browsers if needed.
Then we should use upstream default homepage for every browser we ship.
