Kurt asked me to write down the list I mentioned during the debian-edu meeting yesterday here at debconf5. These are tasks for both debian developers and others.
- get existing educational software into debian/main. There are package lists available from k12ltsp, lliurex, edubuntu, and other sources. (Please provide more sources) - fetch useful patches from ubuntu and other sources and get them into Debian packages. - make the packages we use possible to configure the way we want them at install time, in a way that keep them upgradable. - help the free Java and free flash developers to get them capable of running the applications schools want to use in a safe way. - help to get LTSP into Debian, to attract the LTSP community to Debian. There are of course more tasks left, but this could be a good starting point. Package lists Edubuntu, <URL:http://www.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuSoftware> and <URL:http://www.edubuntu.org/ApplicationSelection> Lliurex, <URL:http://www.lliurex.net/home/va/node/78> It would be great if we had a histogram of whick packages are in how many education-related distributions, to make sure we have the most popular (or even all) packages in Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
