You're right. One the one hand every distro wants its edu flavor. On the other hand, competing projects need a value added to make the difference. There may not be effective cooperation but, as the source code is open, I believe there is likely indirect cooperation. Note however that not all edu distro publishes the tools they use to build their distro. > Any volunteer to contact those people and offer the chances Debian Jr. > could offer? What would you propose the volunteer to do? Merging their packages into Debian Jr.? Note that I still haven't moved the DDL package sets into Debian Jr., I need to hurry up before the Wheezy freeze… > Meanwhile I might inspect those metapackages they are using and turn > them into Blends code ... I'm interested in reading your analysis. I remember to have downloaded their customization packages years ago but did not find so many interesting things in the end. -- Cheers, JM.
