If you need help, you can ask in the developers list (this one is the user list).

I think this should really be through the Debian Pure Blends, it is about time we had a few blends for multimedia. It is very easy to define them, the hard part is to choose which packages to include.

For this it is a good idea to keep your progress visible, and inform about it periodically, naybe someone will be tempted to go and help if you do that! -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-multimedia-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
