Example users

Joe -- artist

  1. Read about spins
    • from blogs?
  2. Go to spins.fpo
  3. See popular spins, categories, and what a spin is
    1. What are all spins? (generally)
      • What do they do?
      • Why do I need it?
      • Why don't I just use plain Fedora?
      • How do I use it?
      • How do I download
      • Screencast/video
      • Live vs. installed
      • Link to directory
    2. Expanded view on individual spins
      • Comments
      • Digg-style voting
      • Karma++
      • What's in it
      • Link back to what a spin is and how to use

So...

  1. What does Joe need?
    • idea of what he wants
    • fedora system or USB key or blank disc
    • time it takes
  2. (blank box)
  3. What does Joe get?
    • Live image with instructions
    • 1-click to make your Fedora that spin (PackageKit)

So we want to search for spins by:

  • package
  • task
  • tag
  • "art"
  • pkgdb metadata

which leads to a huge list of spins. somehow we need to compare...

Interesting questions

  1. Allow Adobe to create a spin?
    • If it uses all Fedora software, that works.
  2. Live spin or just an installer?
    • The main consensus is to allow both, and make sure we tell the end user on the spins page.
