Sabayon certainly looks like it could be a more directed approach. The
question I have, though, is whether Sabayon will let me ship a config to
Jesse, or Matthias to me. In other words, not just from
system-administrator to user, but user to user.
The area I'm thinking needs to be filled is preference-themes.
Developers need a developer-oriented desktop. Mom needs a
point-and-click oriented desktop. Graphics designers need a
let-me-learn-as-I-work desktop. Can Sabayon be used to create a
pre-cooked file that the end-user can download and install to utilize
the preferences they think are right?
Let me further clarify by saying that distribution of preferences does
not need to be a Fedora-specific project. But it would be a great
project to point people who believe GNOME to be unresponsive to.
