Please add a space here -> Debian Med

No idea how Debian Multimedia feels about space ...

I personally like it.

Debian Accessibility does not create metapackages and thus it probably
makes no sense here.

EzGo developers are in CC.

I agree with your proposal and would change the naming:

  life sciences and medicine

  amateur radio (?)

We *could* still put the Blends names there as well:

[ ] Special tasks
[ ] ... astronomy (Debian Astro)
[ ] ... chemistry (DebiChem)
[ ] ... education (Debian Edu)
[ ] ... life sciences and medicine (DebianMed)
[ ] ... geographical information systems (Debian GIS)
[ ] ... amateur radio (Hamradio)
[ ] ... gaming and fun (Debian Games)
[ ] ... multimedia (DebianMultimedia)
[ ] ... for kids (Debian Junior)

so that people explicitely interested in a blend could find it; however
I am not sure if this would not be again confusing.

I would then however input for the not-so-simple blends:

Debian Accessibility, Debian EzGo

and for those who are not on the list yet as well :-)

We should also do an opt-in at some point; I don't want to force any
Blend to appear in the installer.

Best regards

Ole
