These are five projects that are almost ready and would be nice to have finished and documented.

See if you can help test or contribute to them. We limit the projects to five to concentrate effort.

SMTP Smart relay over SSL

Disable yum remove

Software installer (namely "Remove installed software") is removing more than just the packages selected due to dependencies.

It runs yum -y remove <selected packages> and therefore removes the requested packages along with any dependencies BUT without asking for confirmation. I think this is a bit dangerous and much to tempting especially for someone that is a "bit sleepy"

LDAP user account information and authentication

Perhaps it would be nice to take a look at 1543 and try and implement the excellent work done by Sebastien Fourestier. Storing user information and authentication in a LDAP backend would improve adding Linux workstations to the domain as well (Samba man pages: Winbind: Microsoft Active Directory Services).
