Debian Jr Project as soon as I can.
From my point of view if you provide a system for children it is always
connected to education - so there is definetely a common set between
Debian Edu and Debian Jr. My perception of these both projects is that
while Debian Edu targets computers in a school Debian Jr has the goal
to make Debian attractive for children at home (including children which
are not yet in school). So even if there is a good chance of fruitful
cooperation (lurking members of both projects on each mailing list makes
perfectly sense) I would see some sense in keeping the projects separately -
provided that the attempt to revitalise Debian Jr proves to be successful.
If the later is not the case some Debian [EMAIL PROTECTED] (with some people
dedicated to work on this!) might be a reasonable alternative.
(BTW, knowing that more and more Debian Edu members have children at
home I see an increased motivation to work on these issues. ;-))
Miriam, good luck at the revitalisation front! I'm willing to support
your effort by sharing experiences and technically with the DIS tools
(formerly known as CDD tools).
Kind regards
Andreas.
