Projects
moksha
Moksha is a platform for creating live collaborative web applications. It is still in very early stages of development, but is currently being used to build the Fedora Community dashboard, among other upcoming projects.
liveusb-creator
The liveusb-creator is a cross-platform tool for easily installing Fedora to USB keys.
bodhi
Bodhi is a modular web-system that facilitates the process of publishing updates for Fedora. This entails interacting with the Koji buildsystem, Bugzilla, packagedb, and uses mash to compose repositories. It is written in Python and utilizes the TurboGears web framework.
