Greetings:
I just discovered the Design Suite today. I've already got Fedora installed. How do I add the Suite to the existing platform? Thank you.

Well... I know this isn't the neatest or easiest thing to do, but this should get you the equivalent on top of base Fedora, if you type on a command line:
yum install agave blender entangle fontforge fontmatrix gimp gimp-*-plugin GREYCstoration-gimp mathmap inkscape mypaint nautilus-image-converter optipng rawtherapee scribus shotwell synfigstudio ufraw xournal jokosher pitivi gtk-recordmydesktop

Maybe we should look intro providing a: yum groupinstall design-suite

May I suggest "yum groupinstall design-tools" as a better alternative?
I could help with the "comps" part (e.g. actually creating the package group) if needed, then you may just add @design-tools in the kickstart file instead of explicitly listing all the packages
Not sure if new groups need to be approved by some committee, though

Can we please not do this and leave things as they currently are as there are more pressing and immediate issues that have to be and should be dealt with.
Like the ISO size which is still above the ~700MB limit!

Defining comps is parallel to creating the spin and does not affect its size in any way. Also, last week at FUDCon we had the session about the Design Suite (Pierros should give a detailed report) where the agreement was 1GB is a sensible target, the CD is too small and too slow.

Yeah I'm still waiting to see that report from Pierros actually.

Hello,
Would it be overkill to just create a meta package that pulls in these packages as dependencies?
"yum install design-suite" will then install them all?
If this is the list of packages required, I could make a design-suite package and submit a review request too.

Please all be advised that this is on the drawing boards, but no final decision has been made yet.
Please be patient.

Just putting this out here:
The meta package doesn't have to be included in the media. It will just make installing the design suite easier for users, over the internet etc.

+1
'groupinstall' or 'meta package' doesn't matter.
I agree that if someone already runs Fedora and wants to jump into a design task, its good to have _1_ command to get set, and this is related but different to the 'design spin' task.
