Hi, |

|

A few months ago, I asked a set of questions on development mailing |
| 4 |
lists of a few GNU/Linux distributions. This resulted in very |
| 5 |
interesting discussions. As promised back then, all the answers from all |
| 6 |
distros I contacted can be read at [0] (on the web) or [1] (as an mbox |
| 7 |
file). |

Also, Freedesktop.org kindly agreed to host a mailing list to ease |
| 13 |
discussions between distributions, and act as a central point of |
| 14 |
contact. You can subscribe on [2], and post to |
| 15 |
distributions@×××××××××××××××××.org. |

This mailing list is for people involved (or interested) in the |
| 20 |
development of distributions. Questions that are on-topic are both |
| 21 |
technical and social/organizational issues, like: |
| 22 |
- How do you achieve graphical boot in your distro? Do you use some kind |
| 23 |
of dependancy-based or events-based boot? |
| 24 |
- How do you package both ruby 1.8, ruby 1.9 and jruby, or handle KDE vs |
| 25 |
KDE4? |
| 26 |
- Do you use a system that gives a limited set of rights to new |
| 27 |
contributors? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Off-topic stuff obviously include trolling about which distribution is |
| 30 |
the best one, or user support. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Don't hesitate to forward this mail to all interested parties. Let's |
| 33 |
make this mailing list something useful together! |
