Can anyone from the websites team give any ETA's on when the mockups will
be converted to usable websites?

Hi,
I just finished the set of mockups for spins.fpo. The original deadline was
today so yay for making deadlines. :)
They are available here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo
Some caveats:
- I did a KDE-specific banner graphic for the KDE pages. I can do the same for
other desktop environment spins that have distinctive upstream logo marks.
There is a generic solid banner design presented in the mockups as well to
serve as the banner for the non-DE spins.
- The text in the home and about screens for the KDE spin details is pretty
much filler text. I am hoping that individual spin maintainers can help
develop this content when the site is built.
- I am not 100% which spins are going to be available for F12. Some of the
ones in the mockup don't exist yet (e.g. Art Studio). Is a definitive list
available anywhere right now?
- It appears that previous version of spins are not available for all spins
except for KDE and Desktop. In some cases, I've found F10 ISOs for selected
spins (I believe FEL and one other). The previous KDE spins in particular
appear to be split between archive.fpo and the
redhat.com mirror, although
only f7, f8, f10, and f11 were available - f9 nowhere to be found. This is a
bit of a strange state of affairs so I'm wondering if it's just better to not
mention archived versions at all.
- the Spins Community page is going to rely on content that for the most part
has not yet been developed. There *is* actually an interview with Chitlesh on
the Fedora wiki but I'm not aware of any other content available that we could
use. We may need to hold on this area of the site until content is developed.
- The 'featured spin' widget in the right sidebar will need some kind of
script to run it; it's intended to rotate through the spins.
- Spin-specific documentation seems scattered, and it's confusing to find
content on using spins vs. creating them. It's also hard because sometimes
they are referred to as live media, live cds, spins, or remixes. I poured
through any documents I could find using those terms and tried to merge them
into one spin-users guide for the spin support page.
- The about spins page content may be full of crack rock. Actually, pretty
much all of the content is going to need a thorough review. :-/
Lemme know what you think!
