For those of you who > remember my strawman postings this summer > (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-July/msg01325.html)...well the internal blockages have been cleared. gdk and I have it solidly on our plate to form these policies by actively building consensus and documenting that consensus right now. Our goal will be that there will be an official Fedora document that tells you just what you need to do, and people you can go to, who are accountable to you and to the project, to let you in or keep you out based on objective tests. This is great news! A framework that helps to grow the packaging community by helping newbies (like me) create, test, review, modify, and eventually get their "niche" packages working conveniently within Fedora. This rocks! Many thanks to everyone (both @redhat and volunteers) who are making this happen! Ed -- Edward H.
