Sure, go ahead! You might want to read
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing before you start (if you
haven't worked with a mediawiki before).
I think that would be a great idea! I'd just be sure to mention
that an
internet connection is required, but other than that I think it would be
perfect. Adding more options for users to aquire Xfce is certainly a
great thing.
I've never personally done this method (I always just install with the
Xfce Spin Live image) so I'm not familiar if adding the extra repo will
pull in the additional groups and list them in the pacakge config dialog
in Anaconda. Do you happen to know if that's the case or not? ... just
random curiousity. :)
It works quite well in the meantime: The repo is preconfigured, it just
needs to be activated and then the Xfce group is available. It even
works over wireless, thanks to NetworkManager.
