I believe this is too short time frame to manage much improvements,
especially since we have spent a lot of time on the r0 time frame, and
I suspect others like me will have to spend time on other projects
that has been waiting for a while.

I liked your previous proposal better.
For r1, I want to
- Upgrade the debian-cd build framework to the latest svn version.
- Include a windows installer on the CDs and DVD.
- Include on the DVD some Windows install packages for useful Windows
software (OOo, Firefox, etc).
- Update the documentation.
- Find a way to check the SSL certificates when talking to the LDAP
server, and fix lwat and samba to work with the new setup.
- Update libpam-foreground to a clean backport from sid/lenny instead
of our home patched version.
- Change the task installation framework to handle language specific
list of packages to install.
- Update the network-manager packages to use a backport from unstable
to fix some console user access issues. (And only install it in
standalone and not workstation+laptops installs)
And for this I believe 1 month is to little.
Happy hacking,
