If most of the technology is already available and but needs to be packaged up as part of Fedora, then it sounds like this could be accomplished inside a SIG (Special Interest Group) First, create a SIG page in the wiki that gives some scope to the task. Look at the Astronomy SIG wikipage for an example Next, identify the packages that are already in and packages that need to get into the repository that support the task. Collect a group of people to work on getting those packages in. Hold regularly scheduled SIG meetings on irc to work on packaging. Then, Identify packages you feel need to be modified, and invite individual maintainers to discuss necessary modifications with the SIG. And while doing that if there is a missing tool set (like a high level config tool), add a tools project to the Fedora hosted service, and avoid using the word Fedora for the tool project's name. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
