Greetings David --
Thanks for the concern. The organization I am proposing is in two parts:
within the kickstart file which should not be an issue, I believe, and two,
within the app launcher menu. I expect dnf, yum, and the software
management tool to operate as usual for users without any issues.
An alternate way of thinking may take be needed, however, I intend to keep
it as simple as possible.

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.

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.
