New screenshots for new release to update websites?
by Kévin Raymond 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hi there, If you want the websites team to update screenshots on spins.fpo and fedoraproject.org/get-fedora-options, please send us a screenshot replacement to the current ones (same resolution, thanks). That would be kind to send them on our Trac, and setting the milestone to fedora 17. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ I've already sent this request for last release or the previous one, without clear feedback, so please, consider taking those screenshots, we won't do it for you guys. Many thanks, -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2
