live-installer, jockey, usb-creator, simple-ccsm...



Hi,

There's two things I wanted to talk about, related to LMDE.

What's interesting about LMDE is that it aims at providing the same level of functionality as other editions of Mint. In other words, it's facing a challenge: porting or re-writing from scratch some of the features existing in Ubuntu and not found in Debian.

At the moment, we're fully focused on Mint 10, so work on LMDE won't start again until December. The plan though, for us, is to either port of rewrite the following tools:

- jockey
- usb-creator
- simple-ccsm

Are Ubuntu or Debian devs already planning to do this? Or should we go ahead?

The second thing is about the live-installer. We mentioned it was designed with Debian in mind and developed in a way that it could be adopted by other distributions, including Debian itself. Ikey, could you go through the configuration of the installer and how it would be useful to others? We'll probably end up with forks on github.com and that's cool (that way we'll all merge what we like and leave what we don't need), but if anyone identifies changes related to branding... i.e. things that are Mint specific and shouldn't be there, please don't hesitate to give me a shout so we can remove them or package them separately.
