Mandriva/ROSA/Mageia have a nice control panel. Even Opensuse has
one. We should implement this.
Yeah, provided there's developers willing to do the work I think it
sounds like a nice idea. ;)

We can have 2 images or maybe 2 cds. I doubt people use languages
other than english.
Its not just 2 images tho. ;)
There are currently 11 approved spins:
design-suite desktop kde lxde security soas xfce robotics
scientific-kde electronic-lab games
Each one is made for 32bit and 64 bit. Thats 22.
We have netinstall and dvd install isos. Thats 4 more.
We have multi-live and multi-install, thats 4 more.
Thats 30 images. Producing 30 more would be a pretty large burden on QA
and Release engineering. So, if we are going to make changes, we should
make them on the base images IMHO.
I also think we should have a portal where people can request new
programmes to be packaged for fedora.
we do have:
