[RULE] Planning for Red Hat 8.1

Hello,

I read somewhere that Red Hat makes approximately one release every
six months. Even if it is not true (I hope we have a bit more time!),
what do you think we need to prepare so that, as soon as possible
after the Red Hat 8.1 release (whenever that will be) we can announce
"RULE for Red Hat 8.1"? And what do you think it should be?
Even better: which part of the weight do you think you can lift?

I'll start the list with the items below. Any feedback is welcome

1) An iso like the current one, not bigger to start with

2) As many applications are possible repackaged as RPM (from their
official SRPMs when possible) but de-bloated (removing some
dependencies, i.e. options, unneeded files (games in emacs, for
example)

3) DOCUMENTATION of what already exists, starting from the installer
internals, kdrive, and the whole install guide. Michael needs help
with this (I can put together the install guide): anybody?

4) DETAILED list of the packages that we want in that release, so we
can start to figure out dependencies, find packagers if needed, etc...

	Ciao,
		Marco Fioretti
