Spin webpage creation SOP

This is a work in progress.
We are creating it as we go along for the new spins for the F13 release, with the hopes that it will be useful to those creating spin pages for the F14 release and beyond. Consequently, this is a very rough work in progress - please edit!

Introduction

This is a Marketing SOP that describes how to create a website for a spin, a custom remix of Fedora and get it listed and hosted on http://spins.fedoraproject.org.

Examples

You can see examples of existing spin webpages at http://spins.fedoraproject.org. This is where the spin page you are creating will go when it is done.

Instructions

(Adapted from instructions from Sijis Aviles on the websites mailing list)

• Copy and edit this file
  • it alone generates the page http://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/

• Need to create 3 images
  • (232 x 80) - Example Image
  • (120 x 45) - Example Image
  • (960 x 119) - Example Image

• Optional images (used within the text that enlarge)
  • small image (240 x 192) - Example Image
  • large image (500 x 400) - Example Image

• Other images (that do not enlarge)
  • pretty much any size

I've provided links to some example images so you have an idea where/what they look like.

You may find this process easier if you copy the fedora-web git repo to do this. Follow this link to get started with that: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/ShowUs

Once you are done, you can send the patches to the list or put it on you fedorapeople space.
