So, following a quick huddle with a few people from the Red Hat

team, we decided to make this LiveCD kickstart file a bit more of a
project. Actually, the project already exists:
http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/livecd;a=summary
So this mail is just to say that this project exists (and I know a lot
of people didn't know about the difference), and will move forward. For
Fedora 8, it would make sense to more prominently distinguish this
version as the Desktop version.
Ideally of course, this project will be minimal - for example, the work
to make NetworkManager usable on servers makes sense, and should
continue.
I think running it as its own project is a great idea, and a perhaps a
leading example of how to use individual livecd concepts as a vehicle
for focused integration work.
You could think about making a strawman set of ideas for community
people to poke at for integration back into the livecd. I think you
could use the livecd project as a hook to generate new involvement by
more desktop-centric community members.
