Welcome
The Fedora Websites initiative aims to improve Fedora's image and to create the best possible interface for users and contributors on the Internet.
Contributing roles in the Websites Project
This is only suggestions for contributing roles. Only your imagination sets the limts.
About Fedora Websites
The key goals of this effort include:
- Trying to consolidate all the key Fedora websites onto one uniform scheme
- Maintaining the content that doesn't fall under any particular sub-project
- Generally, making the sites be as fun and exciting as the project they represent
In order to better achieve these goals, as well as to benefit the community, the work of this project will involve third-party site maintainers where possible. The direct work of this project is limited to the formal Fedora site:
Work on specific sections of the sites will be coordinated with the appropriate projects. A great deal of coordination will be necessary with the Fedora Infrastructure Team , Fedora Documentation Project and the Fedora Marketing Project .
For a list of community websites, see the CommunityWebsites page.

Projects
These are projects with specific goals actively being worked on for the F12 release cycle. They're in rough order of the priority discussed at the 2009-06-19 meeting, but remember - you decide priority by voting with your feet and doing stuff to move these projects forward.
get.fedoraproject.org
Get people who want the non-default dl option - whether they know it or not - to find and download the right thing with minimal cognitive effort and mouse-clicks.
Decisionmaking process
Articulate and document the consensus-based decision making process of the websites team.

Translations
Make sure all webpages are translated for the F12 release.
Team: Nobody yet! Please help!
User gallery
Create a gallery for mini-interview-style user profiles and stories. This may end up being in conjunction with existing projects/frameworks/pages such as Community.

Brainstorms
For things we're thinking about, images we're kicking around, and posting thoughts that might not yet be well formed, see /Brainstorms - a lot of this discussion also happens on the mailing list.
Communicating
Mailing List
The mailing list behind this effort is the fedora-websites-list mailing list. All contributors to this effort and interested third-party site maintainers should join this list.
IRC
The #fedora-websites channel on freenode is the best place to go for chat.
Meetings
Details about the regular meetings for the Fedora Websites team can be found on the Meetings page.
Resources
CSS and Images
One can find all CSS files and images used in the Fedora sites on the web. And we encourage the community to use them directly from our urls in a cascading implementation.
This is especially true when working on official fedoraproject.org domains ( things on this list ):
Fedora CSS in your application
Load the main Fedora CSS file
And then load your custom css file and override elements as needed. Something like:
Fedora Images in your application
Images simply need to be loaded via their 'href' attributes' url:
<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/paulfrieldstv2.png">
