I am, and a few others. But the infrastructure is still not in place. I
mean it may be physically, but there hasn't been an agreement from
fedora leadership. But I'll propose something for th enext FESCo, we'll
see how it turns out.

The work in the scope of this project will be less hard than what was
done in the scope of legacy, since there will be less QA, in fact the
same amount than in fedora.

I wanted to help fedora legacy, and I wasn't deterred by the packaging
work, but by the amount of QA compared with fedora extras, the processes
were much more complicated for me. I think that the quality was higher, 
too. I don't think that we need that quality right now. Legacy continued 
the Red Hat releases that were quite stable. Here the aim is to continue
fedora release that are very unstable. The aim is to try to be as stable
as possible, but with the same processes than in fedora.
