Hi Aidan,
Thank you for your response to my email and I appreciate your time to further clarify your
project's goals with me.
I apologize as I've misused the term 'centric'. I think 'oriented' may
be the better word. It seems that most, but not all, Fedora remixes focus on a "ready
to use out-of-the-box" desktop system.
I figured if the TigerOS team, or other remix team, had relatable desktop documentation
based from Fedora Workstation that they found missing from Fedora Docs, and wanted to add,
having a centralized point would make it easy for future contribution. I understand that
your focus at-this-time is in regards to remixes.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Shaun Assam

Shaun,
That may be something for the future. At this time, the TigerOS team is mostly interested
in documenting the process of creating and maintaining a remix and how that differs from
the process of maintaining Fedora(e. g. remixes are smaller and may not have the same
amount of infrastructure available, smaller team sizes, etc.). We want to create
documentation to help others interested in creating a remix do so in a scalable and
sustainable way.
I also noticed your comment about remixes being desktop centric. That makes me think that
you could possibly be confusing a remix with a spin. If this is not the case, I apologize
for the misinterpretation.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Aidan Kahrs

I was wondering, if we had a section in the docs that is focused on the Desktop (Fedora
Workstation) would this help remixes like TigerOS and Korora have a central place to
contribute documentation? From my understanding, the remixes are desktop-centric. Is this
correct?
Would something like this be feasible to also allow other remixes to contribute base
documentation in the future?

Shaun Assam

is that the docs.fp.o site is the right place to do this. When you have some asciidoc
formatted material you're ready to contribute, I'll help you establish a repo. If
you want a repo to work in now, I can set you up with that too. Let me know. > 3. This

maintain full documentation ourselves long-term I respect this situation a lot. This is
why I was wondering if having your docs built partially from our docs for Fedora
Workstation would help you focus your efforts solely on what differed for TigerOS.
