Re: [proposal] Simplified junior tags & debtags-based replacement for metapackages

I'm wondering if other CDDs may wish to do something similar.  If so, it
would be useful to have a "cdd::" aspect to differentiate between
different groups of packages within the cdd.  Thus, dropping 'priority'
because I don't think it adds much, we might tag every package in Debian
Jr. with:

cdd::junior::core
cdd::junior::extra

I plan to do this since several month but my time currently does not
permit it (and will not until this summer because).  I'm in favour of

   cdd::med::<something>

for Debian-Med while I'm not convinced that I will drop the
meta packages approach.

It's an aspect of the software itself, not of
the Debian jr. project, even though the Debian jr. project will take a
hand in supplying these tags.

Sure.  This is the same for all CDDs: Software is designed to
satisfy a certain class of users and the different CDDs take
care for these different classes.

I think the top-level aspect should be "audience::" (as in MARC audience
level) and we need to further differentiate between "interest age" and
other possible subclassifications (e.g. "reading grade" in a school
system) that, although not currently interesting to Debian Jr., might be
interesting to other Debian developers and users (e.g. debian-edu, which
I have just added to the CC).

Especially for debian-jr and debian-edu I see some intersection
that should be reasonable reflected in the tags.

audience::interest-age::0to2  (sensorimotor stage: keyboard-bangers, etc)
audience::interest-age::2to4  (early preoperational thought: simple toys, short attention span)
audience::interest-age::4to7  (later preoperational thought: more creative toys/games, longer attention span)
audience::interest-age::7to11  (concrete operations: more emphasis on reading, more complex UI)
audience::interest-age::11to15 (formal operations: requires abstract thinking)
audience::interest-age::adult

Comments?  Suggestions?

Not at first glance - seems well thought.

Rotten tomatoes?

I'm sorry, not in winter time.  We've got a certain amount of
snow ...

Kind regards

           Andreas.
