FedoraSummit/OpeningCore

= Fedora: Opening Core =

The Goal
By Fedora 7, we want to move all Core packages into the community infrastructure currently used for Fedora Extras.

Why Open Core?
The primary benefits are to lower barrier for community involvement, allow comaintainership of packages.

Potential Issues

 * We will break access to RH folks who don't have Fedora accounts. Make sure they create them.
 * RH folks will need to work in two places. Deal.
 * We have ACLs within internal CVS, but not within external CVS. We'll need to create these ACLs at some point.
 * Maintaining ACLs can be a pain in the ass. We'll need to have good tools.
 * Review of Core packages could take a while. Give ourselves plenty of lead time, and a deadline.
 * Defining approval process for formerly Core packages.
