Tasks
- Create common guidelines for erlang-related applications and libraries
- Ensure that all packages are built with +debug_info (slightly increase the size of beam-files, but won't hurt performance at all)
- Allow parallel installation of packages (similar to kernel)
- Update CouchDB in EL-5 up to 0.11.x.
- Retire compat-erlang in Rawhide. Would it be better to update it to R12 or R13?
- Wings3D is heavily broken now in all repositories. This issue urgently needs fix.
- Provide pre-built plt images
- Narrow Build Requires - only list packages which are required for building and not the whole erlang stack.
- Remove "soft" dependencies. Some package dependencies are not strictly required - application tries to "dlopen" it (it starts to use it only in case of success; in case of failure it fallbacks to some default scenario). Notable one is a debugger which tries to download GUI interface and fallbacks to cli in case of failure.
- Fix installation of jinterface - it doesn't use %{_javadir} for storing jar-file now.
- All man-pages should be marked as docs. Consider also installing them to system-default paths (very likely will produce a conflicts and namespace clashes).

Reviews
- Yaws - Web server for dynamic content written in Erlang. (First attempt to package it)
- exmpp - a fast and scalable library for the eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol.
- erlang-gen_leader - A leader election behavior modeled after gen_server
- erlang-gproc - Extended process registry for Erlang
- erlang-getopt - Erlang module to parse command line arguments using the GNU getopt syntax
- erlang-protobuffs - A set of Protocol Buffers tools and modules for Erlang applications

Potential packages
- erlyweb
- Yxa
- erlang-mysql-driver - A native Erlang MySQL client library. One of the runtime dependencies for ejabberd. Please, not that there are two forks - one from P1 and another one from Yariv Sadan. All these three projects are based on the original work by Magnus Ahltorp.
- erlang-fd_server. Please, note that similar functionality (binding to privileged ports) may be obtained with kernel > 2.6.24 with capabilities.
- Jungerl is also contains some very interesting libraries and applications, however not all of them are in good shape.
- User contributions page at trapexit contains some handy user-submitted utilities.
- Nitrogen Web Framework.
- egssapi - Erlang GSSAPI and SPNEGO API (one of the runtime requirements for Yaws).
- eldap - Erlang LDAP API. A patched copy is bundled with ejabberd.
- erlmedia - Erlang library for parsing different media formats. One of the requirements for erlyvideo.
- erlang-rtmp - Erlang RTMP library. One of the requirements for erlyvideo.
- Riak - a Dynamo-inspired key/value store.
- neotoma - Erlang library and packrat parser-generator for parsing expression grammars. One of the requirements for rebar.
- lfe - Lisp Flavoured Erlang. One of the requirements for rebar.
- erlang-mustache - Mustache template engine for Erlang. One of the requirements for rebar.
Rejected packages
Jabberlang - a client Jabber library for Erlang. Obsoleted by exmpp
