Hi Spins SIG,
As you may know from our recent threads on FAB and notes from the Board meetings, we are revamping our spin pages on the Fedora Project web site to provide a more pleasant and informative way for Spin owners to reach their target audiences.
Mo Duffy has been working on new designs to give everything a clean, Fedora-centric look and feel. The URLs below show the most current designs, which will feature customizable content on the per-spin pages. Spins will be listed at the redesigned central spins.fp.o page:
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/spins-directory.6.png
Each individual page would feature a large customizable content area and could have multiple download links at the Spin owners' discretion:
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/woot/spins-electronicslab.svg (Probably requires Inkscape to load/see this correctly)
I'm emailing the Spins SIG to ask for your help getting Spin owners aware of the fact that we want them to start thinking about, and most importantly *writing*, content for these individual pages that will help explain their Spins, and the who/why/how to use them. That information can simply be provided on a wiki page, and then we'll link it from the redesign pages on the wiki:

Mo is also open to constructive suggestions for the spins.fp.o and individual spins pages. I also hope people will feel free to visit the special Board session this Thursday at 1630 UTC in #fedora-design. We're going to do some final review of the initial mockups there so Mo will be able to proceed with final mockups next week and then on to subsequent phases including HTML coding, testing and deployment.
By the way, I would like to point out that the HTML coding effort here, while probably not very complex, is going to be a significant effort. If anyone on or around the Spins SIG has time to help, contact Ricky Zhou (ricky on IRC #fedora-websites) and let him know. We'd be glad to have your assistance!
