Would that give initiatives a home, which are currently not really
allowed in Fedora, like (just to name a few)
My personal take on your examples below.
- pidora
This one is probably not a good example. It's too large to leverage
the resources we have (it's an entirely separate arch) and it depends
on code that is not upstream.
- packaging initiatives, with stuff e.g in copr or which are not
currently accepted in fedora repositories?
Possibly? The standard issues around the ever present codec
situations would still apply, so it won't solve that. It could be
useful for other things.
- building a robot and providing software for it based on fedora (I
mean, including everything, not only the software packages, but also
building instructions etc: this clearly outside of being software
Neat!
