== 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
