A sample of general categories of things at each listed repository possibly, but specific software projects absolutely not. 3rd party repository sites will hopefully have browsable searchable listings, there's very very little point it attempting to make a hand-picked selection of packages in our description of the repository. And there's certaintly no point in attempting to duplicate the full list of repository offerings in a fedora controlled space...we'd never be as accurate as the repository site's own listings, unless that repository is dedicated to a single package like Adobe's flash plugin repository. I think Fedora as a project and the userbase are best served if we limit ourselves to a statement that these repositories include software that does not meet the Fedora Project guidelines for inclusion and leave it at that. If we can't leave it at that, then I would go as far as supporting the listing a few categories of software that apply to a repository if we mean to list multiple repositories. Dribble for example would be all about games. I wouldn't bother telling people which games... just that Dribble is where you should look if you are interested in more games. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
