The Debian package has been there for quite some time. What Skolelinux needs is a package that sets up a ready-to-go CMS tuned for schools. That is, the CMS must be running and ready for teachers to use right after the Skolelinux main server has been installed. A suggested solution to this was to leave the Debian package as it is. This package is a general package, which requires some manual configuration performed in a shell. For Skolelinux, an additional package, e.g. ez-edu, could be made. That package would depend on the Jonas' generic package, and use scripts to set up a CMS with the appropriate templates. This solution could be re-used for other limited domain setups: ez-home, ez-blog, ez-whatever. Maybe eZ would consider a "custom eZ" product line? I know this might diminish eZ's consultancy business. But since those packages still are baselines, just at a higher level, they could also mean more business. -- Herman Robak
