Hi Amit, as the spins wrangler I have to apologize for not looking at your spin earlier. First I was not aware of it because I don't get any updates when somebody moves a spin to 'read for Wrangler' state, but I should have responded directly after the mail you sent me recently. I have now done an initial review of the spin and added my questions and concerns to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Scientific_Spin#Initial_spin_review

You say the spin is now in Beta quality, but by now it should already be ready. From Fedora's beta release on we need nightly composes for testing, but ATM the spins page is not even complete.

As I did my part in delaying this spin, I am willing to give it a try even though we are way too late. But we need to move on ASAP and this means that the wiki page needs to be really ready in order for the spins SIG to vote on the spin.

Hi Amit, thanks for your quick response. If we continue this way we can still make it for Fedora 16 but we really need to hurry up.

Disclaimer: I know we are bypassing the spins project, but I am willing to take the blame. As the spin is based on the KDE spin wich already undergoes the desktop validation testing I am optimistic that we have sufficient coverage.

There are still some things I'd like to see improved (see my notes on the talk page) and that need to be fixed before F16 release, but that should not delay the process.

Is the state change done by adding a page to a wiki category?

If so, it might be really useful if the wiki could notify people when pages are added to or removed from a category: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryWatch
