Kevin and Stephen - thank you for the clarifications. These should be
able to set the requirements/expectations if such a project is at all
being considered as a GSoC idea.
If someone wished to make an application that does this, I would
suggest the following:
* Make sure it grows an upstream community and is NOT just Fedora
specific. This could be something other projects use and getting them
involved could add a lot of manpower.
* To be more Fedora Infrastructure friendly, I would suggest avoiding
java or ruby and look at python frameworks/solutions.
* Make sure to have at least 2 people who know the code/can update/fix
things around. If you only have one primary coder, and they aren't
available the app may be in trouble.
* Offer to help test and setup instances and train infrastructure people
in how it works and how to manage it.
The above probably needs to go under a page that is meant to be read
by those requesting Infrastructure team to host (term strictly as per
Stephen's definition) applications.
I do hope some folks will work on something like this... it looks
like
it might have a good niche. :)
Yes it does. In a way I believe this would have probably helped
applications like FSoC take a different route for framework than the
current RoR.
