[Fedora-ia64-list] Goals and future plans for Fedora-ia64

[Doug Chapman]

All,

The last couple of days have been to be honest downright ugly.  Tempers
have fired up and the results have been less than productive.  This
email is intended to start us back on the right track, not to continue
the flame wars.

I am working on writing up a document that explains the history, current
status, and future plans for Fedora-ia64.  The history and current
status will I think help people understand why decisions are being made
as they are and will show that we really have come a long way.

Expect to see this in a day or two.  I want to take the time to be sure
it is clear and accurate.

We can then derive specific goals which in turn will lead to a plan for
moving forward.  I expect a lot of good discussion in this area.  I am
sure my goals as an HP engineer (btw, regardless of the redhat.com email
address, I do not work for Red Hat, I work for HP) are slightly
different from Prarit's gloals as a Red Hat engineer which are different
from the goals of end users.  While the specifics of these goals may be
different I feel we will all reach common ground on the long term goal
which is of course to get Fedora on ia64 to be on par with other arches.
