Note that many of these topics would be good for a meeting/more
interactive discussion, IMHO. ;)
+1 - How do I request something be put on the Rel-Eng meeting agenda
for next week?

Well, the wiki is kind of horrible for planning things. It might work,
but it's much easier for a wiki page to start growing moss and decaying
than a trac ticket IMHO. So, I would suggest trac (or whatever
ticketing system) instead of wiki for projects.
That's fair, I'm open to any solution that the group prefers. I mostly
suggested the wiki because it's the only collaborative document
editing platform I know of inside the Fedora Infrastructure.

Sure, that sounds great.

As mentioned in a followup, it would need to get packaged up, etc if we
want to host one.
It's been packaged upstream[0], I'll reach out to upstream and find
out if they're interested in submitting to Fedora for Package Review.
One other thing to note is we might need to contribute a patch
upstream for an auth plugin to integrate with FAS, I'll try to find
some time to dig into that a little in the near future.
