Hello Corey
I'm having a bit of a problem with the concept. When you say organize
packages differently. do you mean that if you went to the Package
Manager software would be grouped according to Maslow's hierarchy,
rather than the normal Security, Office, etc? If so I would think this
is going to be confusing to a lot of people to find what packages they need.

Greetings Matthew --
That's a negative. No package defaults will be changed from their
defaults. The overall intention is the organization of the software
and, perhaps, how they are presented to the user. I am interested in
organizing by users' psychological needs rather than the typical
applications categories. I focused on security first since
physiological needs obviously do not exist in a digital space which
contradicts Maslow's HoN. For example, security, safety, social,
design, etc would be application categories rather than office,
system, utilities, for instance, which need ergonomic improvement, in
my opinion. Simply, same fedora software with all original defaults,
but organized in an alternative and improved application taxonomy for
users for promoting online citizenship.
For the scope section's appearance, I was not certain how to address
this since trademarking and marketing will play roles in the spin, at
least according to the original spin process doc. I've always
considered the Sugar on a Stick a wonderful theme especially for kids
so perhaps a citizen type theme would be an ideal for Netizen. I have
not begun to develop a citizen theme since I have been waiting since
January for my spin to be wrangled while also waiting for some type of
feedback. I am open to working with marketing for a fitting theme,
Matthew, or providing one myself, if need be.
Thanks,
--Corey
PS I would concur that the published spin process is broken, as
suggested by another on this list.

I assume that this spin would involve shipping some software in Fedora
with defaults significantly other than their defaults overall or in
Fedora Workstation. If so, let's talk about that.
Right now, the "scope" section suggests that this will primarily be an
_appearance_ thing — or at least, look-and-feel. I'm afraid that this
might actually be somewhat deceptive, if that's the case — people
might
assume that the goal is similar to that of stand-alone distributions
aimed at privacy/anonymity, like Tails.
