Right, this page is (1) out of date and (2) really should be split to differentiate Custom Distributions from non-CDD subprojects as you mention. I've suggested this offhand before and the reception was a little cold. Perhaps with the promise that will silence long threads like this on -devel, people will be more receptive to the idea. :) I will personally move forward with this as soon as I get access to CVS. > [BTW, declaring that SkoleLinux as "no CDD" I absolutely do not > respect their fine work.

Through Debian-Edu, they *are* listed and linked from the page you mention. More importantly, Skolelinux has done more than almost any CDD in terms of contributing back to Debian in both code and in methodology. Their method of submitting wishlist bug reports with low priority debconf questions is IMHO the most important way that CDDs can integreate their work into Debian proper and that CDDs can actually use to become pure Debian and earn their name.
