I'd like to remind people that _this_ is the original question. Please note the parts: "current SoaS", "primary", and "distributes a ... distribution". I welcome pointers to significant modifications or official answers. > Martin Dengler has persuaded me that having SLOBs vote on this issue > could help us move forward, even though there obviously isn't > community consensus on it yet.

Thanks for writing these.

This is why some questions that I've heard dismissed as "too complex" should still be at least asked. > To add a question to the list (I'm not going to add any of them > myself), please add to the bullet points at: > > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Oversight_Board/Minutes#Friday_18_Sept_2009_-_14:00_UTC I note nobody's done this, so I added those three questions, suitably phrased to reflect the fact that SLOBs is now voting on what to ask the Decision Panel to report on. > Thanks, > > - Chris, wearing SLOB hat. Martin 1. I'd like to invite people to consider which of them would _not_ be clearly answered by an answer to the original question.
