Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the package list. It took a while before I could have a look at the document, as it is a but extra work to get access to non-text (as in binary file format) documents the way I organise my email. Sorry about that. I had a look at the list, and as I am not a teacher, I have no opinion on which of the packages are useful for schools. I trust you to know better than me. :) Btw, I believe it is important for us to avoid having to spend time at the moment evaluating individual licences to not include any non-free packages as depends or recommends. I'm not sure if you used that as a criteria when you suggested packages to include. > As I wanted to send this information a.s.a.p.

Note that the workstation and standalone tasks are the ones installed by default on desktops in Debian Edu. The other tasks are not installed by default, and was inherited from the original Debian Edu project. But I did have a look at the packages you listed as depends in the tasks, and found a few gold nuggets I wasn't aware of. Now we need to decide which of these should be listed as depends or recommends in the standalone task, to get them installed by default in the workstation and standalone profile in Debian Edu. Which of the packages do you suggest? All of the depends? Btw, I noticed you did not list any packages as recommends. It might be an idea to sort packages in three groups, depends for core packages, recommends for packages to install if available, and suggests for the packages that are nice to have. In Debian Edu, the depends and recommeds are installed by default, but most of the recommended packages do not fit on the CD and is only included on the DVD.
