I disagree while Fedora project is sponsored by RH the majority of the
contributors are from the community.  Max blogged about this the other
day if I remember correctly.  

I'm not to sure what the definition of a community project is but I
would have thought more than 50% constitutes a community project?

My point related mainly to developer-wise which translates to packagers
and docs I think.
