Introduction
The web interface is targeted towards people creating Fedora Spins and Remixes. It will use the existing tools like livecd-creator and pungi to create the actual images. Initial target is just live images. It will be a 100% free and open source web application.

Current Status
* Imported Comps into a mysql database. * Ruby on Rails not a suitable framework, for unavalablity of a kickstart parser written in ruby.
