We'll have torrents for F8 CDs up in no-time added to 
fp.org/wiki/CustomSpins and the FAQ.

We're gonna want pyJigdo in F9 for mirror(-manager) compatibility

Fedora forks (based on Fedora distributions), perhaps a GUI front-end, 
maybe someone can help us making a multi-platform client. If you do, 
join #fedora-unity-devel on FreeNode.
