As far as I know, it is still in the *idea* stage. We have two 
initiatives on this, which should merge somehow: the initial proposal 
made by Mo in the F8 timeframe which was temporarily put on hold and the 
idea from Colby Hoke which is mostly interested in video editing (but 
the software for it isn't there yet).
I hope the two will speak up if my understanding is incorrect.

For both the questions the answer is this (not updated recently) page: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio/PackageManifest

It seems like the two people involved directly are busy for the moment 
and a person driving the initiative would be really useful. Otherwise I 
suspect we will postpone it for a future release.
