I'm saying that someone might want to use that as an example of a thing you could build as OSS with Fedora & ansible once we have lots of easy to deploy formulas. Not that we should hook into it bitnami itself; just that that's an example of another player in the vague space. > So to make sure I understand you - you're saying b/c bitnami exists we > shouldn't bother working on anything like this for fedora? No. I'm saying that at some point down the road in the future, someone might want to take the current workflow mentioned ( 'git checkout ; $EDITOR ; ansible', as I understand it) and build a workflow that wraps those steps (GUI, web UI, something else.) I would suspect as long as it is possible to implement - a way to get a list of available formulas - a way to get a list of frobbable parameters for those formulas, if any - a way to specify input items for those formulas (EC2 creds, or whatever) then that's sufficient, and even the implementation/specificiation of those might wait until there is an actual user of it.
