BTW, this site is under the purview of FDP, as a joint-venture with
Infra and Websites.

s/sh/c/

get-fedora.html is not a new canonical-forever-dowload-source page,
although it is possible the URL is.  Still, it's worth a switch, which
should propagate within the hour.

Technically, the link was to download.fedoraproject.org, which in fact
*is* the long-standing canonical URL.  It however is not as helpful as
get-fedora.html, so is worth the switch.  We need to decide which is the
canonical reference page.

Getting all the extraneous sites under the same look/feel and etc. is
IMO a need (and win) for the Fedora Websites team.

I'm not 100% sure I like the Help => docs.fp.o distinction, but I've
left it.

One thing Máirí­n and I discussed is that non-newbie users may not be
coming for "help" but rather for content on "how to" do stuff.  We
wanted to create a different paradigm that was inclusive for newbie to
advanced user.  The idea was "Do stuff", that is, content about how to
do things with Fedora.

So, maybe I'll change "Help" to "How to"?
