Hi there,

it has taken me a while, but finally I've drafted up some documents for 
review by the Spin SIG, and other related parties such as the Release 
Engineering team, the current Spin maintainers, the (Advisory) Board, etc.

What we needed are the following:

1) Community Spin Guidelines - DOs and DONTs for Spin concepts that are 
to be included in the Kickstart Pool.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/CommunitySpinGuidelines

2) A Kickstart Pool - A collection of kickstarts that are to be 
distributed to the general public using a package, and that are to be 
used by Release Engineering as well as the Spin SIG to create, test and 
release spins from.

 From what is in the livecd-tools package and source tree now, the Spin 
SIG has distilled a new set of kickstarts, located at

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git

3) A Spin Submission Process - Details on how you, or anyone else, can 
get a spin concept into the Kickstart Pool, and how to advance from 
there to get an approval stamp from the board, and how to get the Spin 
included in the Release Cycle should that be in the Spin's scope.

4) Spin Distribution - A little something about possible distribution 
methods for spins not included in the release, or spins targeted at only 
part of our community (localized spins, for example).

Another document, regarding the access to the kickstart pool by the Spin 
SIG as well as others (Release Engineering, Spin maintainers), and it's 
branching and packaging policy will be drafted as soon as the above 
takes shape.

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
