The colors are subtle and pleasing. I like the overall design. However 
the Fedora wordmark and logo on top left seems to be blurred. I am not 
sure whether that matches our guidelines at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines. Check with our 
artwork team on this and the overall design either at fedora-artwork 
list or on #fedora-art.

The wording on top is ""If this is the first time you run Fedora Core 6, 
a warm, warm welcome". I would want to welcome the second timers too 
;-). Might just say "Welcome to Fedora" instead.

Should it be called "Fedora system homepage" on the right top? I am not 
sure the word "system" translates well.

We decided not to use the Echo icon set for FC6 and will retain the 
bluecurve one. Make sure the icons used on the webpage matches the 
default desktop.

Fedora Core release notes should probably have a link to the web only 
latest version. Since we have it as a separate package we can still push 
updates to the users directly now so this might not be applicable anymore.

Under other resources, the link should be called "Fedora Project" and 
the url has a typo.

Fedora People should say Planet Fedora and link to 
http://planet.fedoraproject.org.  The wording might match 
http://www.redhat.com/fedora/ and hint that the link leads to a set of 
blogs.

The set of community websites links are explicit urls while the links 
above them are not. Lets be consistent here. FedoraNEWS.org might say 
Fedora News instead for example. It is less glaring though the official 
website has that. I am not sure the link to the wiki will stick if the 
CMS changes. Also "weekly newsletter" sounds better than "Weekly news 
Issue". Note the capitalization differences.  Copying Thomas Chung for 
comments.

Fedora forum link should say "formally endorsed" instead of "official". 
We avoid calling anything official in Fedora as a differentiator.  Can 
the disclaimer be worded better to sound less throw away?
