I just wanted to let people know that:
- we have a cloud instance of pagure running on the top of a (outdated)
  dist-git at: http://209.132.184.205/ feel free to see what's right/wrong with
  it and can/should be fixed
  Note: there is currently a problem in the way the data was loaded in the DB,
  so some users are not getting their packages attributed, I need to look into
  this and reload the DB
- I created a tag for tickets/issues related to this 'project' for pagure, so
  feel free to look at the remaining tickets if you would like to help:
  https://pagure.io/pagure/issues?tags=pkgs.fp
  (Looking at the list now, I realize that not all the work/steps done were
  documented in a ticket ^^).

Hope this help,
Pierre
