there is no expected format fir discussions as such - all of the formalities are embodied on the "Incoming Distros" wiki - anything that is not described there is open for discussion
Perfect, thanks for the clarification
one thing i did not expect is so much information at once - maybe it would be most useful to take each criteria item as a separate thread each as they come along so they dont get tangled over time - like: "Hyperbola: No name confusion" and "Hyperbola: Avoids propaganda" and so on - that is how i expected they would probably come along one by one over time and that each of these items would take some time and discussion - you did good though, there is a lot of good starting information here
It is a good idea & you are right. I have installed it and worked on it almost full time for the last 3 days this is the reason I have been able to test all of this at once.
One thread per criteria is definitely a good idea! I will start with one only then we can have a better clarity, excuse me for the confusion on my first attempt.
judging from the past, it has taken a very long time for each distro to be approved - right now there are already 2 ahead of hyperbola - even if the hyperbola review were completed today, it could still be a year or more before the FSF starts their internal review - there is little chance of another jumping ahead of hyperbola so there is no reason to move quickly with any of these you may need to be extra patient at this particular moment in time because right now, the group is a somewhat of a lull - i think that most people at this time, including myself, are suspending their participation; while awaiting "with bated breath" a uniform decision regarding the connochaetos and pureos kernels
Let's see how we can progress criteria per criteria, working like you suggested is good as we can have "checkpoint" and progress slowly but strongly :)
