It's rather early but we need to start to work to add pre-release pages to the new domain getfedora.org. These pages must work for every pre-release version (Fedora XX Alpha '''and''' Beta), therefor they need to use variables and conditions as we used on fedoraproject.org.
We have a clean and simple design on the website, let's keep it like this and add a page for every product. Any idea or proposal obviously is welcome, that's why we are starting 2 months before Alpha release.

I've created the f22-alpha branch and all changes should be committed there. It's the first time we'll go through the pre-release process with getfedora.org, so before we add the usual things we need to create new pre-release pages, decide if and where to place the Alpha banner and also add a pre-release checksum page.
I'm still not sure if we should have a similar JS checksum as for final images, my idea would be to have a simple checksum/verify page for pre-release images where people can pick up the checksum.[[br]] Pre-release pages whould be three, one per product we can link from the sidebar of the download page, layout could be pretty the same (just adapting it to the new layout) we used to have with fedoraproject.org.[[br]] Finally, if we want to run the schedule and display the the day of the next pre or final release, we have to reactivate our schedule script. It has been already tested, but we dropped it before releasing F20 because it was a bit slow. So, this need also some improvement.
Once we have these basic steps we can continue with the normal Alpha release process. Websites should be ready in a month from now, so we have 4 weeks to have this ready. Please code pages with variables, this will help us for Beta.
I'm tagging this ticket as blocker of #305, don't forget we have also spins.fpo ;)
F22 Alpha has been released :)
