1. Can you please be a bit more specific here what you refer too? Is
that an argument to use tools like cvs (or the newer svn) like the
main website instead of using baz because some find that easier to
use (this is only an example)?
2. I see another problem with you mail:
reemphasised that Debian Women is about
integration -- integrating women into the Debian development community
(not the user community).
That is a fine thought. But the basis of female debian users is very
small, even if you count those, who do not administrate the system,
they are working on, because brother or friend is the only one having
root access.
To clarify: I do not think, Debian-Women has to be a users-group for
Women, But one of the goals must be to support working on getting
more female users, those who are not afraid to make changes to their
system on their own, backport/change packages and so on. Therefore it
would be nice to have information about female users group,
installation parties and all the other places, a women might want to
go on the website of Debian Women until the main Website and all
Debian Projects including the user support reflect the problem
enough. It also might be fine, if material for people who work on
this special goal is available on the website.
3. What about the integration of d-w into www.d.o? As far as I have
understood, there are not so many problems to integrate the debian-
women website (the wiki may be place directly under debianwomen.org
then) into the main webwml tree. Is that one of the milestones? It
would integrate the d-w project more into Debian. As you might know,
I prepared already an (empty) example wml for the d-w pages on
www.debian.org.
BTW: Making things easier by developing _new_ tools is not a bad
thing. All tools Debian has for administrators or Developers are made
for this purpose. But Tools do not help understanding the things
behind the scenes often, so learning the tools is not all one needs.
