There is no easy way to know when our next Fedora will be released. People should look for the right wiki page, and there could be frequent updates.
I propose to design a simple page containing the main schedules (Alpha, Beta and GA releases). The data would be taken from the online official schedule (parsing as XML I think). This would be shared by ou main fpo websites (for the countdown banner..)
The content would be in fpo/get-prerelease and on a secondary page like schedule.fpo? or just fpo/schedule?
IMO it's useful to have a schedule page, but just fpo/schedule. This means importing the schedule directly to fp.o sites instead of having it "only" on the wiki, right?
If yes, we should consider linking the fpo/schedule page also in the main fpo page, as requested in ticket #162. If I remember right we have a link to the wiki scheduling page during Alpha and Beta stage, although it's not very visible actually.
If we want to have such a page, which imports the schedule as XML, we could use this page also for: Autohide the Alpha button at "Release date + 10 days" (for example) #141 Manage the release counter better by grabbing the date automatically #142
One thing related to this to note is that we are looking at rolling fedocal out to production before too long.
https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/calendar/
is the staging instance.
Perhaps we could leverage that and a Fedora calendar on it with the schedule? But it might be it doesn't meet your needs for counters or other things.
I think fedocal is more about contributor meetings or why not events. Our page will just be a static entry for marketing. Jreznik, your opinion?
Fixed at F20 Alpha release.
