I am working on it.  I appreciate all you have done so far.  It seems to be there are very few interested developers so far.  So I am going to read up on the Submission proccess.  And get more involved.

It seems to me at this point we have a pretty good framework of a policy and procedures defined.

Not having read the submission process, I recall from memory we have package owners and QA people.  What is a method for staying informed of fixes?  Ad Hoc?  We should also have a specific team of people to vote security fixes in or out.  I don't want to see it a mailing list vote of all those involved.  Considering this is going to be time crucial.

Warren,

You mentioned you are at Red Hat 9 and FC1 that you have not interest in RHL 7.x-8.0.  Do you intend to use FedoraLegacy for Red Hat 9 and FC1 and FC2 and beyond?  If so I would imagine you would take more interest in the future use of this project.  Not that you haven't.  You have done a lot and we appreciate it.  I was just curious.

Okay back to reading.
