I'm not a big writer but: Some Mandrake developers are [37]discussing the future of Mandrake Linux since Ben Reser [38]believes that he end of [39]MandrakeSoft is [40]inevitable. They [41]proposed to organise the work on the Mandrake Linux development as community better and [42]investigated how the Debian project is organised, which is why John Goerzen from Debian [43]contributes to the discussion. .... > > 37. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg90098.html > > 38. http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2003-01/msg03850.php > > 39. http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ > > 40. > > http://ben.reser.org/rants/invisible.cgi?month=01&day=15&year=2003&t=00 > > 41. http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2003-01/msg04630.php 42. > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg90243.html 43. > You have missed my point, and the point of the original discussion.

I would love to see this discussion without heat-heads. Really thinking what is currently wrong and do it better in future. And some things we can learn from debian: - "Special interests"-lists - split up of the Cookerlist for a better overview and some other things I currently does not think of -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
