I'm struggling to see the point in doing this as a Fedora Spin, as opposed to just providing a yum 'Astronomy' group that can be installed on any Fedora deployment ? It would seem to be useful to a broader set of users that way. Alternatively IIUC there is also already a Fedora 'Scientific' spin which seems to aim to bundle together scientific tools, of which astronomy tools would seem to be a subset. So why not just bundle astronomy tools into that spin giving users a much broader & more useful set of functionality ?
Another thing that would probably be worth doing as part of this effort is making sure that all the apps you've identified as important to the Astronomy spin, to make sure all those apps show up nicely in the software center applications. gnome-software has a browsable Education->Astronomy category where all the astronomy related apps should show up. Can you check that everything is showing up correctly there and that they all have nice screenshots and descriptions? Any work done here is going to directly benefit the KDE software center app as well, as I know the proposal owner is a KDE user. -- Thanks, Kalev -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
