I don't think anyone is stopping anyone from putting together design plans. By all means, do so. The wiki is available if you'd like to put together some estimates of what software and hardware requirements will be. The only problem is that after you've done that we're still not sure if we'll have the hw or the money available to make your designs happen. If you're okay with that then please, do start drawing them up. If you have other ideas on things we need but might not have the resources for right now, bring them up. There's room for this sort of thing, I think. -sv
Every time this type of request comes up its usually under "wouldn't it be nice". We just need someone to take ownership of the project, put together requirements and be prepared for it to succeed or fail. I'd love for us to host a people.fedoraproject.org but we're not in the business of public hosting. So the question is, who then? If we say someone who's got an account and signed the CLA... then we're saying everyone. If we narrow it down we have to decide who using some arbitrary mechanism.
In this case resource != people. In this case resources = computers, storage, redundancy, bandwith, backups, etc. And I'm not willing to put all that together so that we can make sure joe blow's vacation photos get backed up. If someone needs a place to host source code, artwork and other things related to the Fedora Project then hosted.fedoraproject.org is right around the corner. If someone needs a place to host "misc digitital data" I don't think thats us right now, our facilities just aren't there. But its up to whoever wants to drive this to figure out what it would take, put a proposal together (of course we'll all help with this) and present it to us and probably the board. But as I said earlier, I'd love to see a people.fedoraproject.org.
