Sorry, I don't see that happen yet in the near future (Skolelinux aiming to be a pure Debian blend) considering all the changes and extras discussed on this list recently, including severe changes of LDAP schemata. > As such I see no point in collaborative packaging work being > conducted anywhere else than by simply packaging for Debian and then > consuming from there. I DO see a point in cooperating between distributions. A vast amount of patches and fixes in genuine Debian packages comes from the Ubuntu community nowadays, btw. In fact, I consider Ubuntu one of the largest contributors to the Debian base, like it or not. Ubuntu has its own, well-working framework for schools. I would like to adopt parts of it, in code or at least ideas, if not for Skolelinux-international, then for Skolelinux-RLP, especially if they have - working, teacher/Admin-friendly filesysetem and printer quota support, - on-the-fly examination mode with network and filesystem ACLs, - better GUIs for teachers, students and admins in general, - easier ugradability than Skolelinux has right now. In return, I think that Ubuntu could make use of our extensions LINBO and italc-RLP; the alternative blind-friendly ADRIANE audio desktop, CATWeasel and CipUX set aside for a moment. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find a DM willing to create official Debian-Packages from our installation sources, so we are still making our own. Maybe there are volunteers from Ubuntu?
