I'm rather new with this too, but it looks ok to me.
You can read up on http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerfaq.php3
for the Cookerfaq. You can send a mail to Lenny, and load it up to the
ftp site.
They are rather busy for 8.0, so somewhere in time it should appear on
the mirrors.
You can also read up on the rpm howto,
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/
and read about testing the rpm.
