I have played with their realtime kernel a tiny bit (just installed it).
I know what you mean on time though :-)

Ugh everything on that list that looked easy, or interesting either
was already done,
had no MakeFile/configure script, was incompatible with Fedora or
wouldn't build easily.

I have updated the wiki with the issues I ran into on six packages:

If you can add some on there that might be compatible with Fedora, and
have configure/MakeFiles I'd definitely be willing to take a shot.
Please update it, games are fun :-)

oh wait I see it has a lot of stuff already:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/WishList

I'll take a look.. this looks fun

maybe after I get another package review request up.
