  • Rahul Sundaram is in touch with the upstream developer, Evgeny Fadeev (evgeny.fadeev gmail) who is willing to help out with integration with Fedora Account System
  • Toshio from Fedora Infrastructure team raised the question of liability and Red Hat Legal has clarified that there isn't any. It is like the users list where end users answers other user questions and we don't have to moderate the answers. Thanks to Spot for helping with a quick response.
