Woot!

I definitely wouldn't mind the help. Fedora incantations of RL are very
possible but do take some time and it would be great to have a few folks
to help keep that up.

There also a couple interesting projects like RLMTools:

https://secure.linux.ncsu.edu/rlmtools/

I haven't moved this to git yet but will when I start to work on it. Or
when somebody wants to poke around. Its currently here:

https://svn.linux.ncsu.edu/svn/cls/trunk/ncsu-rlmtools/

and WebKickstart (which I'm working on a large re-write at the moment)

http://web-kickstart.linux.ncsu.edu
http://git.linux.ncsu.edu/git/?p=webkickstart.git;a=summary

Of course, ideas are welcome.
