OFSET is an international association. You are right, sorry I always put the packages together and after having a gathering in france and always talking about the french specifics I mixed it up ;=) > 2.- I have my comments myself on our repository.

You and the other OFSET members should make suggestions of packages which might be ready for upload into debian. Make a suggestion and we can discuss the package at this list, I think this is the best way otherwise we are only discussing it generally and then we will get no results. Greetings Steffen P.S. It was no general criticism of the OFSET project, please do not get it wrong I know that you made a very good job (the french skolelinux team told me ;=)
