I just noticed that Xavier was a mentor last year for GSoC. Maybe he
can share his thought about this.
BTW, I have absolutely nothing against realizing our ideas within the
Fedora project if it is feasible.

And what exactly would we ask for? Same question btw reg. the 3rd party docs
site idea above...
One reason why our docs are not the best you can find is because we
are not content writers, we are packagers, sysadmins or developers. We
need some of these profiles too.
My idea is just to ask if there are content writers in
fedora-docs-list with some spare time to improve the documentation in
RPM Fusion.
The same can be asked to content writers for 3rd party doc sites.
Moreover, we can also find some way not to duplicate the same
information over different sites (and maybe with errors in it). A
clear goal of each doc site should be defined. Each sites should
reference the others when needed.

No, of course not. Maybe I was not clear enough: The tools we need might
deal with non-free software, but I assume the tools itself (like
rpmfusion-config-display, kmodtool, ...) will be open-source and thus should
acceptable for Fedora Hosted as long as the Fedora project doesn't say
"no".
If that is feasible I'm all for it.
Bye,
Andrea.
