Fwd: Re: Fedora 14 AMIs
by John Poelstra
I had the same thoughts Jon did when I went to fedoraproject.org on
release day. Was it by design that we did not prominently call out the
new release? Are we planning anything different for Fedora 15?

I checked the Fedora Project website (which is lacking a giant splash
image on the first page announcing F14 - you don't even there was a new
release until you scroll halfway down the page...ouch), and current EC2
AMIs. The only one I can see listed in various searches is:
601083040030/f14-basic/fedora/14/1.0/x86_64

Hi,
There was a new release of Fedora today, but the website only makes this
obvious through a graphic once you get half way down the page (on the
right, in a small icon). Could we please have a giant splash image as part
of the choice of 4 at the top of the page?
Jon.

64 bit machine
by Larry Nicholson
I just upgraded to a 64 bit machine and was wondering when Fedora
would provide a 64 bit OS. I really miss using it

Point taken, I did not mean to imply that all contributors forget about the things on the wiki. There are many good items available when you can find them, also sadly a lot of overlap, packaging and becoming a packager is one that I have had experience with in the past, that topic may have been cleaned up by now. "Land of lost docs" perhaps is a much more fair description because finding things is painful at best. So I do stand behind my black hole description.

new mediawiki skin -- any takers?
by Ian Weller
(Someone's gonna have to do it eventually...) :)
Anybody need a challenge? We need to convert our new website design into
a skin for MediaWiki.
Documentation is a bit sparse, so you'll need to look at this:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning
and other MediaWiki skins as examples.
This will require some knowledge of PHP and HTML/CSS. If you need a
staging server to test this wiki on, feel free to ask and I'll help you
with the necessary infrastructure authorization and what to edit. :)
