Dave here from Corel,
Lothar seems very interesting. We definitely are going to want hardware detection
and are studying different ideas at this time. On a related note, there seems to
be some overlap
as far as the need to involve different groups of developers in regards to this
and other setup issues. Would a site devoted to basically posting develop ideas
and joint status be of use?
Corel could setup the site . How comfortable are all of you with having our
presence on your lists? To me it'll be great to cooperate, however I in no way
want Corel to be perceived as intruding into Debian's space. If anyone has some
ideas of how we can work together and avoid this please let me know. Bottom line
is we want to help and not be intrusive.
Thanks
Dave
