I have an idea that I think would be great for Cinnarch.  I think having a
distro involved in "gnome initial setup" other than Fedora would be
excellent.  They can provide alternative approaches or help implement the
design in Cinnarch.  Basically go all in as a complete GNOME distro.

https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/InitialSetup

For more details.  I would like to see them get involved.  Perhaps that is
something to focus on?
