Tim, Curt,

I'm almost ready to start playing around with cubox -- at this point, just
trying to remember where we're at. Have either of you started?

 Regarding the issue of FC18, vs FC20 that Tim raised with Jon, I think
it's strategic for us to move forward on FC20.  We can disable stuff in
XSCE that stalls the ansible install.

Tim, can you refresh my memory on the current issues encountered getting
XSCE on FC20? Do you think that changes to get XSCE to run on FC20 are
doable, if not for 5.1 then 6.

The readme, at https://github.com/jmontleon/fedora-20-cubox-i4pro, changed
14 days ago, looks to be something I could follow.
