doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be kept alive. That's the
distinctiveness that is at risk to be lost if we're just absorbed by
Debian Edu.
I absolutely subscribe to this statement. I've nothing against Debian Edu
(rather the contrary) but I think Debian Jr. could do more for the
original target audience if it would keep a team alive.
Not a bad technical solution, as I said. Let's just see what comes of
the alternate proposal by Miriam to have youth lead this project as a
group before going down that road, though.
That would be ideal. Miriam?
Kind regards
Andreas.
