Fedora Hosted entry on Wikipedia

[Paul W. Frields]

Responding to a recent status post:
  http://twitter.com/berrange/status/8231080017

I added Fedora Hosted info to the Wikipedia page in question:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_f...

I'd appreciate it if someone knowledgeable could check the information
there and correct any oversights or errors.  Thanks.

Hey Paul,

I might be wrong, but considering FI has Koji running I would imagine 
that would be classed as "Build System".

Koji is for  building packages for Fedora, once they're approved to be
included in Fedora's package repos. If we have resources and people
put in a RFR for a Koji instance for hosted projects, we could run
one.

Imho this is more what would be needed:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/KojiPersonalRepos

Without these features in place, I cannot really imagine how a hosted
Koji instance could be used easily.

Scratch builds though do allow us to build virtually anything.

Only builds in Fedora can be used as build dependencies. This already
reduces the generic usability. Also scratch builds are removed after a
certain time, so one still needs to manually copy the rpms to somewhere
else and create a repository, which can then be used. It is better than
nothing, but imho not a full supported feature of Fedora Hosted.

Anything that doesn't require something else outside of Fedora's  
package set.

Great move!

Just a few stabs at what I'm seeing:

1) Wouldn't Transifex be considered a translation system? Google Code
and Launchpad are considered to have a translation system and there's
extra foo you need to do there, not unlike what you have to do on Fedora
Hosted (add transifex user to your scm group and tell somebody about
it). Transifex of course is way better then either of the other
aforementioned...!!

2) In the way that github allows you to have personal/private branches,
and Sourceforge doesn't, isn't Fedora Hosted somewhere in between?

3) The trac system also allows for email2trac (along w/ anti-spam?),
ticket templates and code review, and probably more. Maybe that's worth
mentioning too.

Thank Daniel Berrange, who posted a status update at some point last week
that drew my attention to this oversight.

It would be good if someone else could make a meaningful [[Fedora
Hosted]] page on Wikipedia that covers the system similarly to entries
for other hosting systems.

Agreed -- but is the integration as close as with those systems?  I'm
not arguing one way or the other, I don't have a translated project on
Google Code that would help me know.

Is it?  I'd need more information to be able to tell whether my entry
was correct... give me some background and let's see if I got it wrong
or right.

Could be a footnote, right?  I'd suggest adding it to the page... it's
a wiki! ;-)
