SCL - Software Collections - are popular packaging format above rpm. Let's 
enable them for Fedora. More details on upstream page [1]. 

== Detailed Description ==
My first draft [2] is obsoleted by current state of SCL, Copr... I would keep 
the SCL workflow simple as possible.

Playground repo

1. Build SCL in Copr
2. Add SCL into Playground repo

Fedora main repo

0. Build SCL in Copr (or use existing SCL)
1. Do standard package review
2. Upload packages into git - specific branch based on Fedora version and name 
of collection. For stable repo we must be able to replicate builds from git 
repo, which Fedora own.
3. Build SCL in koji or magically add SCL builds from Copr (depends on 
preference of releng)

SCL living on Copr can be good candidates for inclusion in Fedora. Maintainer 
of such SCL must be able create Change proposal for his collection. Review of 
packages in the collection should depend on repository (Playground - almost no 
rules, Fedora - standard guidelines). 

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: 
0. Approve SCL guidelines by FPC
1. Include one collection into Fedora Playground repository or into main 
Fedora repository (probably the one wanted by Cloud WG). It might be this one 
rebuild for Fedora [3]. Updates of some gems or addition of other gems might 
be needed. Review by Cloud projects is needed.

* Other developers: If SCL is in Fedora, maybe some other project can use it 
for their work. 

* Release engineering: Magically add SCLs builds into compose or set up koji 
for SCLs. 

* Policies and guidelines:
