Yes.

That's a good question. Maintaining a separate Web site is a fair amount of work, but *might* be worth it. I lean towards trying to keep the projects/products all on the same site, though.
So, just for clarification, we weren't looking for answers to those questions specifically (although I agree tentatively with your assessments here, it's up to the Design team and FPL / advisory board to decide.) We were more trying to give a flavor for the kinds of questions that are starting to be posed towards us that are driving us to this research in order to figure out the best answers.
To start off the rebranding discussion, the Fedora Design Team has 4 basic questions for each of the 3 product-focused working groups to answer:
Taking a crack at these, so we have something to start with:
Okay, these are great -
(1) What problem does your product solve, in one sentence?
Fedora Cloud provides a customizable base image and tools for developing scale out applications on public and private clouds.
(2) Who is the target audience for your product, in one sentence?
Developers creating scale out applications on top of public and private clouds.
(3) List at least 5 products that successfully target the same target audience you are after.
On public cloud (AWS) various AMIs (Amazon, CentOS, Ubuntu) that are popular.
BitNami images on public + private clouds.
PaaS offerings (Heroku, Engine Yard, OpenShift)
Docker
Windows Azure (Not sure how successfully...)
(4) List at least 5 products that try to solve the same problem.
Docker
Various AMIs
SUSE Studio
Ubuntu
CentOS
I think we can respond by December 4th, if not sooner.
Thoughts, comments, flames?
Looks fantastic so far and already helps me personally understand the product space better than I did before! :)
