| |
| * "art"
| |
| * pkgdb metadata
| |
| * language
| |
| * filtering out spins that won't work using Smolt profiles?
| |
| | |
| which leads to a huge list of spins. somehow we need to compare. use what is available in the list, such as architectures, live/install, what media it fits on, etc.
| |
| | |
| Then click spin, and we see
| |
| * download this spin
| |
| * "make my fedora this" (PackageKit)

| == Interesting questions ==
| |
| | |
| # Allow Adobe to create a spin?
| |
| #* If it uses all Fedora software, that works.
| |
| # Live spin or just an installer?
| |
| #* The main consensus is to allow both, and make sure we tell the end user on the spins page.
