Makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yes the idea is to strenghen and federate the mandrakelinux developers community, whatever happens to the Mandrakesoft commercial company. However I think that both the community and Mandrakesoft could benefits from each others. As a consequence the current thread aim is to brainstorm for a more official and ruled structure for the community. Moreover I think the goal is not to merge or become part of debian project, but to keep a kind of sane concurrent state between them both. -- Warly
