We're developing a distribution - Fedora. Fedora is our product, like X is the X developers' product. Fedora is "our little world of influence and our package set". Yes, that's a big task, but it's what we're here for. :) I'm getting the sense a lot of people are thinking in terms of "well, I just work on this little piece, so I want to work on this little piece and not be bothered when some other piece breaks". But we're really all working on one *big* piece, here. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
