== Detailed Description ==
 
The Moblin Architecture is designed to support multiple platforms and usage models ranging from Netbooks and NetTops to Mobile Internet Devices (MID) and various embedded usage models, such as In Vehicle Infotainment systems. The central piece of the architecture is the common layer called "Moblin Core". Moblin Core is built on the GNOME Mobile platform, extending and enriching it with new technologies like Clutter, GUPnP and mojito. The Moblin Core is the core desktop environment that sits of top of Fedora, and above the Moblin Core are the specific user interface and user interaction model for the target device(s).
 
== Benefit to Fedora ==
 
The current release of Fedora GUI environments aren't optimised for the small screen environments of NetBook and MID devices. This will allow for a desktop environment that is optimised for these newer small, cheap devices that are becoming popular.

== ISO Name / FS Label ==
 
Fedora12-Moblin-arch-LiveCD.iso
 
== Dependencies ==
 
The current plan is to base the Spin on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Moblin-2.2 Moblin 2.2]. If there are issues with getting Moblin 2.2 into Fedora due to either upstream or other issues we will fall back to shipping Moblin 2.1 which already has all required packages in Fedora rawhide although some may require updates.
 
== Scope / Testing ==
 
# Run  basic spin testing
# Test installs from livecd and usb, test livecdcreator
# Test the moblin user interface including core components
# Test various X drivers for OpenGL support or whether it falls back to software rendering

=== Support tab ===
 
<!-- What IRC channels or other live support options do users have for the spin (if any), what mailing lists / forums / non-live support options users have for the spin (if any), and what documentation would you like to highlight to new users?  This will go on the support tab.  Here’s an example: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Spin-details-support.png  -->
 
=== Custom branding ===
 
<!-- Some custom branding for each spin, so the different spins pages are distinguishable from one another.  You can see
in this KDE spin mockup at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo#Spins_Details:_Home_Page
The bar above the tabs that has the KDE logo.  Please let us know what kind of graphic you’d like for your spin. -->
