First of all: Aurélien, you have raised a very important and interesting topic here. Thanks a lot for that!

I am not quite sure what is the meaning of your response, Aurélien. If you mean that you do not believe that a configuration guide written for (less-technical) end-users will be used a lot, then I agree with you. Writing such document as _if_ they would read it is however quite useful as a stepping stone, as help for us developers realize what is missing from the more ideal situation of not needing such document. We can look at that document and maybe spot pieces that could be fully automated by adjusting some details in our packages - or maybe by requesting upstream to implement some additional hooks that we could use to smooth some things. ...and until we reach a "version 1.0" of a Debian Pure Blend which need no configuration manual (a.k.a. works out-of-the-box), more adventorous users would sure benefit from the progressively shrinking documentation documenting our earlier beta releases. > * I've to say that I am by now not really sure about the answer I > should give to the "Are you the good person for that project?" > question in the Debian Blends doc! What is crucially needed is someone leading this. Which essentially means someone that inspires others to do the underlying tasks. This very mailinglist thread is quite inspiring. Even more inspiring, I believe, would be to take those existing french documentations that you know about, mash them together, adapt to Debian unstable, put the result onto the Debian wiki, and debate its content on the multimedia list. Then for more generic issues of how to compose a Debian Pure Blend raise questions on the blends list. (please generally avoid posting to multiple lists, and if you do anyway then at least very very clearly propose a single list for follow-ups) Regards, and looking forward to work more with you on realizing this, - Jonas
