SIG stands for Special Interest Group[0]. As the title speaks itself, it is about forming a group specialized at maintaining packages related to Design. KDE, Scientific, Robotics, Fonts[1] groups have them so why not Design Team?
The reasons are:
- to list and track design related application not included in Fedora repository - to make like of packagers easier when one of them went missing or on vacation. - to consolidate all building in a single repository say design-team.fedorapeople.org where development version of main tools like Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus without disturbing the main repository similar to Ubuntu PPA - to gain more contact with upstream by helping them tracking bugs, improve their software and provide a guideline of writing a good spec file
- Better interaction with Fonts and Desktop SIG.
- to maintain the list of Design packages in comps.xml for users installing a different desktop environment i.e. KDE and such.

Feedback welcome.
