As a software engineer, I am also interested in making Fedora the best
development distro out there (I do this by packaging Eclipse plug-ins)
and I think the formation of a SIG to look after development tools
(much like the Perl SIG) is a good idea but I'm having great
difficulty in identifying the need for a separate developer /spin/.
Presumably the target audience (people like you and I) has the
where-with-all to discover and install their own tools and a pre-set
list of tools chosen for them is almost never going to cut it
(Netbeans users tend not to care for Eclipse and vice-versa) so who is
the spin for, exactly?
