I agree on with Keating's comment that copying for copying sake is
wrong, and we should do original things with Fedora. On the Other hand
though, I think we should strive to have a better centralized
configuration center that would allow users to easily and confidently
configure their systems. I could get a mockup of what I personally
think it should look like, but I would leave it open to everyone else
to decide how it should work. (mainly I don't know how program very
well due to lack of language knowledge) I could also compile a list of
what user's want, and put it into the mockup and discription and submit
it to you guys and get to work on Fedora's centralized frontend to the
system-config-* tools.<br>
