Ugh, this does bring up a good point, we had planned on re-designing this page but it looks like we missed the string freeze? Anyone interested in doing it like _right now_ and asking the translations team politely to translate it?

Docs has it's own string freeze schedule. The website is the same; we can do it more up to the last minute unlike translations of packages. Even giving 2 weeks for translation, we'd have up to mid-April to redesign the page. Right?

I didn't know that, this is the first time we've ever really kept our eyes on the string freeze with the website. Still, it'd probably be good to make sure we have a plan in mind. Anyone interested in heading this up?

Right, I started working on that shortly after FUDCon IIRC but got sidetracked (go figure). It may need a few more decision points and answers without getting too bogged down. (For instance, someone who's running an IBM zSeries probably knows their architecture... do we really need to include that on the list?)
The general idea, as I explained to Toshio and some others at FUDCon, is to make the design follow these constraints:
0. Allow experts to bail into a typical technobabble list of choices. Don't bog them down.
1. For everyone else, follow a "choose your own adventure" workflow.
2. Avoid all jargon and present questions anyone can answer.
3. The choices should continue to use the same screen real estate. Do not link to new pages if possible, just use JavaScript or something similar to reuse the same part of the page for additional questions.
4. Help on BitTorrent should include links for Windows, Mac, and Linux to the simplest effective BT software in a way that doesn't navigate users away from the Get Fedora site.
5. Ask for a user's spin preference. The top choice is "I'm not sure, choose for me," which results in the default Desktop Live or Install image.
