The overarching goal of spins is to make Fedora more accessible to folks who want to try it as it's a no risk way to 'install' Fedora, as well as to provide a mechanism for customizing Fedora for specific tasks to showcase its abilities (for example, the Electronics spin or the Art Studio spin.)

So...
 
# What does Joe need?
#* idea of what he wants
#* fedora system or USB key or blank disc
#* time it takes
# (blank box)
# What does Joe get?
#* Live image with instructions
#* 1-click to make your Fedora that spin (PackageKit)
 
==== So we want to search for spins by: ====
* package
* task
* tag
* "art"
* pkgdb metadata
* language
* filtering out spins that won't work using Smolt profiles?
 
which leads to a huge list of spins. somehow we need to compare. use what is available in the list, such as architectures, live/install, what media it fits on, etc.
 
Then click spin, and we see
* download this spin
* "make my fedora this" (PackageKit)
** smolt.
* other suggested packages
 
==== Post-spin downloading ====
 
* Installation instructions and stuff show up
* Win/Mac/Lin download client or other instructions
* Feedback plz!
* Survey email after 1 week
* Smolt profile with a tag that says what spin it is

*** testing route, and resubmit Kickstart file.
 
==== Review process ====
* Metadata with information on what it is for
* Submit to review
** We don't have a clue about this
** Login/view status at any time
* Yes
** fill out wiki details for spin page
** maybe suggest a SIG
** auto respin for security issues or updates?
* No

=== Kickstart file approval ===
* KS submitted
* Ticket created
* Auto-validation process of kickstart
** Syntax
** Forbidden items validation
** Repos
** Root password
** If any of these present, automatically reject ticket
* Does it have scripts?
** No: initial automatic approval, needs metadata check
** Yes: email sent to mailing list, assigned to "default" reviewer
*** Discussion takes place on saneness of scripts
*** Unapproved: here's why, here's how to fix it, Retry or Abort?
 
=== Levels of reviewed approvalness ===
* Hosted
* BT/Community
* Ignored
 
== Interesting questions ==
 
# Allow Adobe to create a spin?
#* If it uses all Fedora software, that works.
# Live spin or just an installer?
#* The main consensus is to allow both, and make sure we tell the end user on the spins page.

Project Goals

The goal of this project is to provide a fedoraproject.org hosted application that will allow:

  • anyone to learn about what spins are and how to use them
  • users to be able to browse, download, and start using spins
  • developers to customize & build their own spins
  • spin reviewers to approve/deny incoming spin submissions
  • administrators to control the build process
  • Fedora project members to track and view metrics on which Spins are most popular

The overarching goal of spins is to make Fedora more accessible to folks who want to try it as it's a no risk way to 'install' Fedora, as well as to provide a mechanism for customizing Fedora for specific tasks to showcase its abilities (for example, the Electronics spin or the Art Studio spin.)
