The wiki is open for editing, feel invited to get things going in the 
French language department. If you need assistance, we'd be happy to 
give you assistance (just drop me a line, and I will get you connected, 
if you wish so). Regarding the content itself, I'm afraid you'd be 
rather on you own atm, as there are no French speaking people within our 
documentation team.

The wiki is supposted to be the documentation, and I had the impression 
you already discovered it on you own...So can you explain a little bit 
more verbose, what do you mean by "no documentation" and what your 
expectations are?

Unfortunately most of our documentation for developer is indeed in 
German, but as the most basically is code or shell specific, you may 
still benefit

Sure it's possible, there is a basic image, called os-core, just have a 
look at our github.com/openthinclient repos, There is a huge Makefile 
which will orchestrate scripts to create a Debian based, thinclient 
oriented base image (squashfs). The apps you have seen are basically 
self-contained squashfs images, which will be mounted in the course of 
the booting procedure and contain payload, metadata and information 
about how and whent stuff will get started (rcS.d, rc2345.d, 
tcos/launcher).

I'd give you the hint to start with os-core and then install the 
development-environment for packages (tcos-dev in openthinclient/deploy)

There are two ways, the one would be to modify the os-core  (base.sfs) 
image, like I mentioned it above. The faster and simpler approach is to 
create so-called custom packages, which mimic the rootfs directory 
structure (files, dirs, permissions) and will be applied while the 
client is booting.

IF you have a Directory of some kind (internal LDAP, ActiveDirectory, 
OpenLDAP and what not), you may import them and assign ressources like 
application configurations on the bases of individual users.

depends on what you what to do, but yeah it's simpler to start with 
Debian as a baseline for porting applications.

just as I told above.

Cheers!
