Preparing a new release of Fedora Developer Portal - asking for feedback

Hello Everyone,

we have prepared a new release of Fedora Developer Portal, and we would like to hear your feedback before pushing it into production. If everything goes fine, we would like to make the release on Monday, April 25th.

This email is the first of its kind. I would like to send it every time before release - to make sure, that we involve everyone who might be interested. This time, I have also cc-ed 'websites' and 'devel' lists. All future emails about new releases will go to the 'developer-portal' mailing list only.




What's new:

1) Design
    - refreshed look with more uniform layout
    - images in the header have been compressed

2) 'Edit this page' button on every page
    - clicking this button gets you to the github repo, where you can edit the content directly in your web browser and submit a pull-request

3) Including empty pages
   - pages are shown with 'help needed' badge
   - goal of this is to encourage people/make it easier to contribute content

4) Start section
   - including guides about Arduino and mobile applications using Google Android Studio

5) Share your knowledge banner on each page 
   - with link to our contributing guides: https://developer-portal.github.io/

6) Using Google Analytics
   - disabled 'demographics and interest reports'
   - disabled 'enhanced link attribution'
   - disabled 'remarketing'
   - disabled 'advertising reporting features'
   - basically, I want to use it only to track views and to see what is most popular


I welcome any feedback or comments.

Thank you!
Have a great day,
Adam Samalik
