The distros project (still being used to distro, but the change reflects the project more) is actually going it a bit unbalanced way now, with Munzir progressing in the MAPS document without us releasing the standard document, which has gone further a bit from the document on the cvs. In particular, I have so much things pending. I suggest that the last document we had with small changes (colors and stars, etc) issued as a beta document for all to see, I can make it available soon. May be we need a chat as I see there is much organization effort at arabeyes. As an aside, the idea of the application list is still there. I am now thinking of the following points: - Modifying the list of apps there to be more than just an example. I will make a new list based on the old list, the applications that we felt we needed in Arabbix, and the applications in the MAPS document. - Some coordination should be done with the bugs page (or open issues?), either as one document or linked. > > I looked at the MAPS file and got royally confused, > > http://www.arabeyes.org/docs.php > > as it looks like that SAIS document was kinda used > for Mandrake > specific issues but the intended audience is the > user and not the > Mandrake distro developers.

This was done in accordance with the recommendations in the LAS document in order that a distro gets a Silver status, so it may qualify as a how-to. I think the direct coordination with the distro should be done on a distro by distro basis; redhat people are different than gentoo or morphix. The targets are specified by the main document. I am sure Munzir will be happy to respond to any particular points there. Well, as this discussion revolves about a document which isn't there, I will try to coordinate with Munzir so we update the LAS document (it isn't that I didn't like the SAIS name). I will post it by Sunday in shaa Allah, whatever its status is. Now, I am preparing for tomorrow. More later.
