And when you are on it, please also do:
cd ${YOUR-WEBWML-ROOT}/english/devel
mkdir debian-installer
cvs add debian-installer
cd debian-installer
# copy the attached "index.wml" and "makefile" into the current directory
cvs add index.wml makefile
cd .. # so both makefiles will be committed
cvs commit
Thanks.
An "abstract" about this issue is
at http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200307/msg00199.html
When the changes are in place, we will encounter this error:
make -C debianer install
make: Entering an unknown directorymake: Leaving an unknown directorymake[1]: Leaving
directory `/pool/debiansite/webwml/english/devel'
It looks like that 'make -C debian-installer install'
is reduced into 'make -C debianer install' ????

The goal of Debian-NP is a complete system for all common tasks that non-profit organization need using 100% free software. We want to provide this functionality in a integrated and documented stable free desktop environment.</p> <p>The name Debian-NP includes NP meaning "non-profit." We've considered the name Debian-NGO but feel as if NGOs are usually larger organizations than the ones we aim to serve. "Non-profit" is a somewhat US-centric term, but we have failed to come up with a better description of the community of not-for-profit, civil-society, worker-owned, cooperative, activist groups that we think this distribution would benefit. If you have a better idea for a name please let us hear it!</p> <p>The general idea for this kind of project was adopted from the other Debian sub-projects that include, in no particular order <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-lex/">Debian-Lex</a>, <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-jr/">Debian Junior</a>, <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-med/">Debian-Med</a>, <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-desktop/">Debian Desktop</a> and <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-jr/">Debian Junior</a> <a href="http://www.demudi.org/";>DeMuDi</a> projects.</p> <p>Debian-NP will contain a set of meta packages that declare dependencies on other Debian packages, and that way the complete system is prepared for solving particular tasks. Like other sub-projects, we hope that there will soon be a framework for <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2003/debian-vote-200303/msg00014.html";> flavors of Debian</a> on which Debian-NP might be based.</p> <p>Eventually, we aim to write new pieces of software, useful outside of Debian, to replace programs important to non-profits but currently unavailable as free software or on GNU/Linux systems (e.g., a good fund raising database).</p> <h3>News</h3> <p> <p><:= get_recent_list('News/$(CUR_YEAR)', '6', '$(ENGLISHDIR)/devel/debian-nonprofit', '', '\d+\w*' ) :> </p> <h3>Project goals</h3> <ul> <li>Build a solid software base for non-profit organizations with emphasis on easy installation, easy maintenance, security, and the creation of a secure, integrated, standard, all-in-one solution.</li> <li>Bring users and authors of a range of projects together.</li> <li>Provide information, documentation, and tutorials to help acclimate non-profits to GNU/Linux and the Debian-NP system.</li> <li>Help non-profit organizations share resources by allowing upstream authors to get their products packaged in Debian and distributed to others as part of the Debian-NP collection.</li> </ul> <h3>What can I do to help?</h3> <ul> <li>Sign up on the mailing list and introduce yourself. Help design the subproject and let your voice and your, or your organization's, needs be known.</li> <li>Tell others in the non-profit world, especially software developers with experience in GNU/Linux and Debian, about the project.
