I would suggest that what has been produced is great but that it has a
way to go before I would call it ready for the masses.
Ah. Critique. Excellent. :)
But let's be specific. Which component needs work, Kadischi or the Live
CD that Kadischi produces, or both? And are there bug reports in
particular?

If the tool is easy to use, then it is probably better to let people
simply build what they want.
Oh, absolutely. But having some "best in show" candidates is a good idea
too, don't you think?

This is an interesting one. As it stands, the build works from a single
repo. To add in Extras means changes either in the way either anaconda
and/or kadishi work.
But it is a good idea. At this time, I have had to manually merge
fedora, fedora-updates and some of my own rpms to produce a single repo
that the CD can be built from.
And how did you do that? Did you put together a nifty HOWTO? :)
