The DeMuDi project has "folded" into the AGNULA project (this happend
one year ago, more or less): http://www.agnula.org/
Right now we are in the process of releasing a 1.0 version of DeMuDi,
which is a Woody-based distribution containing several usefual (or
supposed so :) ) audio-related packages.
If you ask me, the 1.0 is just a tentative: it's called 1.0 for purely
contractual reasons, but it's still in very early development.
For the near future I'm planning to base our work on a freezed
snapshot of sarge (I have to count how many open grave bugs are there
on sarge today) and work to make easier for people to contribute to
AGNULA/DeMudi.
As far as communication goes.. I completely agree with you. As
AGNULA, our main problem is that we have some fixed deadlines and we
can't "release when we are ready" (although I would like to,
honestly). The best solution I've found up to now is to put into
Debian the packages that we make for AGNULA/DeMuDi (see my ITPs which
I Cc: to this mailing list).
I had a look at metadistros, too, but they don't seem very concrete
now.
Any suggestion is warmly welcome!
bye,
andrea
