I just finished replying to an email that Gene had sent me and then saw that the topic was being discussed here on the mailing list too. Here is a snippet of what I sent to Gene ... ---snip--- Once upon a time around the release of FC1 the three of us tried getting something together to help people out with the process of rebuilding/recreating custom FC projects. We got a good start on the project but with time and other priorities - the project has since fallen into that large open-source project pit that is marked off with yellow tape and a large sign that says 'ENTER AT OWN RISK - UNMAINTAINED WORK AHEAD'. Unfortunately due in part to a poorly organised Fedora documentation team at the time - and many personal changes in our lives, ie. Alex and Forrest scored nice new jobs :), the project was never taken on by the Fedora documentation project and so is now rotting in that aforementioned pit. I don't believe that any of us are currently working with Anaconda at the moment so it is hard to find the motivation to maintain something that is no longer relevant in our lives. Well that's about it. If anything, I had a great time working on the project and meeting some bright minds, but I have to admit that its time is over. As I said - feel free to take anything you like from the project - none of it is covered by any legal crap - and if we knew how to do go about it - I'm sure we would have made it available under the GPL. ---snip--- So I wouldn't count on the Twiki as a relevant source of information any longer but anyone can do with it what they wish - but I would suggest starting from scratch on a new platform wouldn't be such a bad idea - maybe something official in the Fedora Doc Project? Hope that clears some things up - good luck! pantz
