Red Hat Maintainers, Michael Johnson, People in the know...
I see people coming up with things to suggest on how to make Fedora work with Red Hat and the community, the QA process, submitting packages, automated or manual, etc..
Would it be possible to hear a status on all of this, as in "We have lots of this already in place, waiting on this"? Or "We have this and that scenarios in place, but trying to figure out this best scenario, or a way of doing this particular scenario"?
In other words, is hearing all these suggestions and such good for you to figure out what is needed or improved upon prior to putting this stuff out or is it better to let you get this out *then* get suggestions/comments/etc.. to get it even better?
I guess you could say that I am asking if we should all just be patient until you get this infrastructure in place and then make comments/suggestions or are ideas/suggestions still welcome to complete the process and get it ready to roll?

I don't know if I qualify as 'in the know' but....
The statuses are these (as I know them)
- waiting continues on the cvs server access - but that should be imminent - after that process for submission to the build system is being worked on - russell coker (last I heard) was working on capabilities for selinux to secure a build system - at some point people performing tasks, etc, will be acknowledged as 'community leaders'. Not an official position, I don't think just ideas.
This is all I know.
keep in mind I'm not @redhat.com so I can only say what I've heard or been told -sv

We have hardware to deploy a public CVS server. We are building infrastructure. We're finally making progress on a contributor agreement (the big holdup).
Many of the good suggested changes require that we build a more dynamic web site for Fedora. This is not a bad thing -- we just don't have hardware/people allocated to the task at this time, and I do not have an ETA. Right now, I'm grateful to folks like Thomas for putting up fedoranews, Colin for his updates, etc -- making things happen without waiting for slow officialdom to roll around.

As a caveat to this. If you're doing something and you think you might be violating a trademark in the process you should wait for officialdom to roll around. It would suck to have to tear down things you've worked on b/c the fickle tide of legal opinion turns against you.
