Formalizing a SIG could be as easy as nominating a dev team rep (you??), SIG lead and membership, and putting it on the Wiki. I don't really understand why we mirror the RH documentation (manuals) other than to be polite and conserve upstream's bandwidth? Obviously the documentation retains RH's branding so presumably can be freely redistributed but not changed so I'm wondering where's the added value? Is it purely a courtesy or are there other reasons not to point directly to upstream's manuals. One more thing - I'm wondering about the continued use of the "prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" phrase that appears on the website. Presumably this dates back to a time when Red Hat was less receptive to CentOS but that has changed now? Is this something that could/should be dropped now relations are friendlier? Apologies for taking the thread slightly OT :-)
