Hi,

I think it could be really nice as a 'landing page' for get-fedora. It
has _lots_ about the whole process...which we need. Yet, it is
visually appealing and simple and not busy; nice.  Also, thinking that
we are hopefully adding spins all the time, and maybe even arch's,
this seems to grow without really getting 'more' or 'bigger' in that
the content we link to will be new/updated and expanding, but not this
page.  Did you have an idea for 'adv users'? or is that just a link to
torrents.fp.o ?

I am not sure what to do here either, as we need to embrace the spins.
Yet, how can we make it simple for new users to get what they need if
we show all the spins?  this is definitely worth discussing at the
meeting.
