I will take care of this today.
thx
Will answer theses message for the
particulars question that I need to raise about this.
which name for each packages ? (as i expect

Why is this too early to discuss? Could you elaborate?
Well at least from my point of view it's like this: I trying to sort out
the remaining issues I see (¹) so we can officially launch RPM Fusion as
soon as possible. But if new ideas come up (like unstable repos; a
official spin) then I have to stop that work and get involved into those
discussion if there is something that I dislike or something where
people want to get my opinion.
(¹) everyone is encouraged to help; there is still a lot to fo afaics
(I'll try to post a updated "remain steps to get rpm fusion started"
mail later today/tomorrow")
I can agree that it could be too early to provide an "official
iso".
But experimentation is appreciated.
I didn't stop anybody -- I just suggested that focusing on getting the
remaining issues sorted out would IMHO be the better idea before working
on the overnext steps.

Again, this is no timeline. But to make a draw:
"Nvidia driver packages design" Requires "repository design".
"Update vlc version" design Requires "repository design"
There are workarounds but it would be better for the workarounds to be
provided from rpmfusion itself somehow, sooner or later.
Can't follow. Can you try to rephrase?
Now I don't think we can reference the whole mailing list for a
design
reference of suches features.
So i'm thinking of having a wiki page for Features_accepted
Features_discussed along with a page that would sum-up accurately
those features. (this could include "proprietary graphic drivers
parallel installable" description for example).
There have been such pages in the wiki (in RPM Fusion or Fedora), but
they in my experience often tend to get outdated quickly and then are
more misleading then helpful. But it works fine if someone has the
energy to keep things up to date. But I warn you, that is a whole lot of
work afaics.
