You seem to be trying to build a complete Fedora-alike infrastructure before
you do anything. That to me seems crazy. What do you actually need - a corner
on your own box to build rpms. A guest environment to test them and some disk
space on an ftp site.

Yes you'll need to grow that - if you get lots of users/contributors, but you
don't need to start that way. As it is so well put "Rome was not built in a day"
