Whether you call it a "spin" or a 'product' or an 'offering', the specific grouping that we use to make up the Fedora Desktop is the first and foremost offering and one that has a specific mission statement. That shouldn't prevent another spin or product or offering from having a different, even conflicting mission statement. All should fit within the global Fedora /Project/ mission statement. Contributors care about the project mission statement, and to some degree a product or two. End users would care mostly about the product mission statement, maybe later care about the project mission statement. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
