With increasing diversity in computer architectures, expect to see a number of specialized builds. Encouraging inclusion of packages is good - there are people who may not be packagers but can do the initial preparation to enable a SIG to adopt a package. However, want good reviews as well, there may be a disincentive for thorough reviews just to include a package. May also be good to run a light weight version of fedora review on packages to ensure they get updated after they have been included. > Should we require some documentation? ie, should the group have to make > a doc/wiki page explaining what it's for and how to reach group owners > in case of problems? > Yes.
