The purpose of the meeting was specifically not to discuss possible |
| 28 |
solutions for solving the "installer" problem. That is actually a |
| 29 |
subject of research. If someone else wants to step up as lead that is |
| 30 |
good for me. (if you want to do it, I'm ok and I suppose spyderous is |
| 31 |
too) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The main point was first on selecting lines of research and starting a |
| 34 |
group for actually performing the named research. Things have been going |
| 35 |
to slow with research and this is an attempt at getting things going. We |
| 36 |
need people to actually do things an getting results. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
To me an installer that is aimed at single-system installs is very much a |
| 39 |
desktop topic. It is concerned with the use as workstation. As such this |
| 40 |
is a desktop-research topic |
