I would like to see Products defined by the problem space that they are aimed at rather than the technology they're based on. That is, a "Fedora Scientific Desktop" is a lot more compelling to me than "Fedora KDE" -- at least as a product. But I don't think there's anything wrong with Fedora KDE as either a spin or something else. For that matter, there could be a "Fedora GNOME" spin distinct from the Fedora Workstation product, if there were people really keen to work on it, perhap as a showcase of upstream technology without worrying about the concerns of the Fedora Workstation WG's particular area of focus. (With "people keen to work on it" as the really key phrase.) -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
