Okay, perhaps RedHat could set up a sourceforge(-like) service for
people (like me and Gaute Hope) to make contributions in a managed way.

Of course. Our intentions are not to get this tool as incompatible with
Fedora as possible. In contrary, we are planning to get the buildscripts
correct in a way that it will still deploy a 'system-config-schedule'
commandline on a Fedora. We will probably put this deployment in the
spec file or detect the distribution at the buildscripts (but I think
the spec file is a better location for this, or a patch that is applied
by the RPM tool and defined in the spec file).
RedHat is of course allowed to fork this GPL tool to get it working on
Fedora, in case we develop this Fedora support not fast enough :p. But
we propose working on this together. Rather than starting forks of this
little tool :-).

Those where or intentions, yes. But it's possible Gaute will finish this
support pretty fast. The current code has been developed with support
for 'at' in mind. And Gaute got some sample 'at' code working just
before I started turning the project upside down ;-). I guess he can now
start reusing those experiments.
