Another problem. Outsiders can't really do much. We're told that
things are being worked on to help us contribute, and so far the only
thing we can contribute is extras packages. Infrastructure is decided
on behind mostly closed doors, and the only thing that has worked for
community contribution is to just build something (like the Extras build
system) and shove it in RH's face, so that they have to take it and use
it.
I've found that the best way for external folks to make larger changes
is to have their own infrastructure. Hence, fedora extras runs out of
my building. :) We've got to get beyond that or make a nice way of tying
together multiple infrastructures as 'fedora'. I think we're getting
closer to that in some ways. We need to update and renovate
http://fedoraproject.org and try to stop relying on
fedora.redhat.com
for the web infrastructure I think, especially in light of the fedora
foundation. Finding fedora as a subdomain off of
redhat.com makes less
sense if the goal of the fedora foundation is for fedora to live a
little more on its own.
