Just so we're clear, you think it is OK and/or preferable to call all these things "Fedora": * The group of packages that are the core set for the distribution * The individual slices of those packages that fulfill certain purposes, such as "server", "desktop", "audio workstation", "OS for OLPC", etc. * Parts of the project that do not directly involve software packages (art, marketing, ambassadors, etc.) * The overall project that houses many, many things, including a Linux distribution As a reminder, the "fun with naming" that you started was about finding a name to easily identify the core set of packages. Even if this name is not used much outside of the project, it might be nice to have a way to refer to that. "Put it into Fedora." "Get it from Fedora." "What is Fedora?" It is the last question that worries me. When the answer is different depending on the audience and the context of the question, then we are in the same Ambiguousland that we've been in all along. Are we happy being there? - Karsten, a Fedoramorph -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
