This is a good insight. I think the problem I have with this well-intentioned thread is that it's a broad reaction to a specific issue we're trying to sort out right now. Webapps aren't new, the fact that a large portion of them aren't FOSS isn't new, and their usage in and interoperability with Fedora is not new. The "new" item here is displaying them as options in the software center. I think it's a fair question to address whether or not displaying non-Free web applications in the software center (or other similar applications) is within our Foundations. I don't think we need to add an entirely new Foundation or significantly reword the existing ones in order to answer that question. A statement from the Board on this seems perfectly reasonable. josh _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
