I had a talk to the Pingoo-people on the Debian conference in Bordeaux
last year. I tried to convince them to *include* their project into
Debian instead of branching from Debian. In my opinion it would have
many advantages if they would do so because they would only have to handle
their own packages and would not have to manage a hole distribution.
May be they would do so in the future ...
This would enable also Debian-Jr to include their stuff.
By the way: Is there anybody in Bordeaux this year 4.-8. July. We could
try to do some Debian-Jr discussion or (more prefered) development.
Kind regards
Andreas.
