These are the things that will lead the way for Mageia project.

I really don't know if "founders" are already writing or thinking some of these.

But IMHO that we could be "inspired" by http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview

This is very related with what Graham Lauder said in this e-mail:
https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20100923/000163.html

I think that sayt our objective is "to fork Mandriva because Mandriva
S.A. is incompetent" is not enough.

Something that I think is very important and found in Fedora's wiki is
the "User base": http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base

They describe "the minimum level of consumer for whom we'll design the
default offering". I guess this is the user they are targeting. This
is very important to avoid "fights" in the future when someone says
"the distro must be for newbbies" and another says "the distro must be
for advanced users", and a developer stands up and says "the distro is
what I want it to be because I scratch my own back" (no offence
intended)

If you say "this is the target", then we all will shoot to it.

Cheers!
