Hi Shawn, to get started, a Fedora / RPM Fusion package is not allowed to
download source during the build process [1].

You'll need to provide a direct link to a download-able source archive. There
is some tips on the Fedora packaging page [2]. Remember that we follow most of
the Fedora packaging guidelines [3]. One suggestion found there is to start
from the Fedora rpm template.

There is no changelog; show us that you understand our guidelines by including
this even though this is the first version. It should indicate the change to
the package, not to the upstream source, except if it's to indicate an upgrade
to a new upstream version.

I didn't take a look any further at this stage, except to say that the
Description should really just indicate what it is for and whether it is a GUI
or command line application / service, not what it "designed" to do or the
language it is written.

In terms of RPM Fusion: 
- indicate why this package can't go into Fedora... maybe it can ?
- http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors provides the methods for RPM Fusion, but
note that many things are referenced back to Fedora.

Also, if you are part of the upstream development team, I think it would be
worthwhile to mention that here.
