How about something sequential? Like this: 1. People are interested in making Fedora respinable; after all, while you are building a distro, why not make the tools that build the distro available for anyone to copy and use; carry metaphor down to GUI app to build personal versions of Fedora. These folks are the initial SIG. 2. Changes are made, in packages management through to release engineering; a peripheral discussion becomes core to the mission. 3. Each success gives us a new set to build the next idea on. So, we don't settle on one reason for existence that lasts forever. We settle for "organic growth", with a different kind of fruit we are harvesting every few releases. For example, I would say we have moved the changes to the build system to the core and it is time to pick a new windmill to tilt at. My vote is probably going to be for the desktop/user interface windmill next. FWIW, I think Fedora is already a rock solid server, and it's always going to get that attention from the RHEL side. The question is, what do the rest of us think want to focus our attention on. What special-interest do we raise to the forefront? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
