Package the Weave Server
Project Description
Weave is the server used by Mozilla Sync for synchronizing personal data (bookmarks, passwords, form values, and cookies) across multiple machines and architectures (Windows/Linux, Android, etc). This project involves packaging Weave for Fedora and getting it through the package review process. This is being done so individuals, groups, and companies can run their own private weave server.

Project Details
Weave Server consists of two APIs:
Sync-server is used to synchronizing data with Sync clients. Reg-server is used for creating and managing user accounts.
The objective of the project is to have the Weave server packaged and available on the main Fedora respositories (yum install weave). The package should allow a user to install a working Weave server with minimal configuration.

Initial wiki page created. Met with Mike Hoye to discuss initial package design. It was decided that the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ folder would be used to automatically pick up the weave apache conf file to help automate the install process.
