Oke, great feedback on the feedback (although i seem to miss feedback
on the bottom part right after: "Mixed from: UxerX and UserY (and
others)")...
So some thoughts on that would be nice.

Now for the feedback and what we do/won't do.. i suggest we use some
kind of system for that (MoSCoW)..
So, if we could all (Máirín, Mel, Hiemanshu and me) could all make a
MoSCow list of what we see as needed then discuss the lists in the
meeting next friday?
Just if you don't know what moscow is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoSCoW_Method

note: every line from:
http://fedora.mageprojects.com/fedora_feedback_anonymized.txt is a
problem or a possible solution that the users saw. so every line
should come back in one of the moscow sections (not multiple!).

So in the end we end up with at least 4 lists with the following subjects:

Must have
----------------------
< your items here >

Could have
----------------------
< your items here >

Should have
----------------------
< your items here >

Won't have
----------------------
< your items here >

And if you ask me as soon as we know the "Must have" part we can
actually start to make something.
Let me know what you think of this idea.

Mark.
