In last Fedora Store SIG meeting, tw2113, couf, and I were assigned to work on the website, it'll be on store.fedoraproject.org they asked me to contact you guys to see if you have any ideas/suggestions.
So fart, this is what we have: 1. It'll look something like thinkgeek. 2. The main page will be featured items or what's new. 3. A "what is available for reasonable shipping prices in my region" page. 4. Being able to choose weather you want to order in bulk (for an event (ambassadors)), or small amounts (fans). Some said that this should be in the beginning and some said that it should be at the end near the checkout.
Anybody here familiar with fp.o's templates and is willing to help? I can do most of the work myself (i guess), I have made a webportal [1] and I don't think it's any harder, well, may be more concern about security, and less interactive ;)
Cheers!

Hmm, if we can offer different prices for bulk orders (or have "packs" for events), then it could be handy to differentiate early on.

Wouldn't this depend on what merchandise distributor we're going with? Most companies will probably provide the store/products list, and the amount of control that we have over how it looks can vary hugely. Once we have made some choices in this area, I can help with the websites side (I'll try to start attending the SIG meetings next week).
Thanks, Ricky

When I heard the idea originally, the picture I had in my mind was a portal in front of >1 merchandise distributors.
One of the problems we experience globally is where the cost of shipping by a merchandise supplier is more than the cost of the items shipped. Sometimes tariffs and fees are added, depending on where shipping from/to.
So, the idea of >1 distributor is to allow:
* Ambassadors to source better solutions and make them easily available to the rest of Fedora * Usage of web tools to create one's own Fedora stuff outside of pre-packaged offerings * Potential for enterprising Ambassadors and others to create locally sourced materials (cf. Free Media)
But I could be entirely wrong, this is just what came to mind when Max brought it up last week.
