Normally my responses would be extremely concrete, but here
I had to get possible specs and approaches of locale specific bodies
discussed first.
Just because I know how the state of affairs is does not mean that I
can rush with concrete plans.

Specs are never that simple and in this case the rationale, content,
UI all need to be discussed first.
If people do not understand the dynamics of different feminist
movements then they will not be able to understand the rationale.

More of this are in a thread on 'Ubuntu Feminism Edition' at
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/wfs-india/CDQjeYvCqys
 My original post in this thread was far less specific.

A spin in Fedora with Fedora branding apparently has more restrictions involved.

I did not mean that particular s/w under discussion,

Fine, the other thing that got mixed was the revival of Fedora-women
and related concrete plans at the local level :)

But all these are linked.

I will post the final specs (with limited sociological rationale) soon.
