One thing I'd like to see more of is our banner ads.  A FWN banner that 
comes out and is linked on the main site the day it comes up, or 
rotations between it and a new group, you get the idea.  Classic 
advertising banners but on our fedora themed sites (fedoraproject.org, 
torrent, fedorapeople.org, etc).

Javascript could pick a random banner on page load, weighted or other 
criteria (like higher weight for FWN on the days it comes out), it'd 
just take A) the art team to build the banners (they rock) and B) 
someone to write the code to put it in our pages.

/2 cents.
