3. etch r2 cds?
It was agreed to not focus on etch r2, the etch builds are disabled. We
are all concentrating on lenny
3. Lenny status
Several issues was was mentioned
* holger mentioned http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Lenny as a
good list of things that need helping hands, stuff from easy to hard. if
you want to get Debian Edu lenny released soon(er or later), please take
a look and join in! often testing (if a bug is gone or still there) is
an excellent help already!
* Ronny noted that cd700's with network should be possible to test. the
netinstalls are not working properly yet. The dvd have not seen much
testing. Please test and write reports to the list.
* lwat requires new features to support the ldap controled services we
have in lenny. This is a blocker for releaseing Edu lenny with ldapified
services.
* We need testers. Both for installations, and for upgrades. The edu
spesific upgrade path needs documentation.
4. ltsp features to backport
vagrant have asked on the lists [1] about the need for backporting ltsp
for lenny. it was agreed that vagrant will look into backporting the
ltsp udeb to make the installer more intuitive.

5. Documentation: What's inside Debian Edu
There was some discussion about the task pages [1] set up by Andreas
Tille. About their intended audience, and purpose. It was generaly
agreed that they should be linked from more sources. like the wiki, the
documentation, and the public website [2]. Andreas also noted that the
Debian Description Translation Project[3] needs more translators. there
are curently no norwegian translations at all.
