Mission

• Creating high quality packages of design tools featuring graphics, web, arts and some video editings.
• Documenting the available tools, including wiki documentation and comps.xml
• Promote the Design Suite
• Actively review each other's design-related packages to shorten the time it takes to get them approved and imported into Fedora Package Collection
• Help each other fix bugs that have been filed against design packages
• Alerting each other about orphaned and soon-to-be orphaned games so that we can prevent their removal

Process

Design Software SIG has three channels for communication:

• The mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org,
• The current wiki page for suggesting design software, the need of reviewing pacakages or joining the SIG,
• the IRC channel located on #fedora-design@irc.freenode.net.

In addition, the resulting source RPM will teach upstream about the good practice of packaging.
