Hi Nik, That's great To have the past 3 years should be perfect since DebianEdu is changing a lot. I don't know about the file size. Maybe you have to make it available as download.

newbie type conversation on debian-edu. If this were to change a
lot (though I don't believe it will as things stand), I suspect
some developers might start asking for a separate list.
I believe that this will happen eventually, esp. as Skolelinux takes
off in other countries. And then we might have a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{no, org} (or debian.org, whichever you prefer),
a users-no@, users-el@ etc, so that teachers can discuss
administration, users, etc. but _not_ developer/technical matters in
their own native language.

Hi There is already a norwegian web-forum for skolelinux [1]. This is not used much, but I think real end-users would like such a forum. If you ask Arnt Ove (CC-ed), I think he would love to set up an international forum as well. The problem is that many developers doesn't like web-forum as communication channel, they prefer mailing lists. This could be solved by letting the developers sign up in the forum and forward postings in relevant forums to their personal mail. We could also let all postings be forwarded to the mailing lists, if it is not to much traffic.

I know most of the users are currently in Norway but a mailing list for direct help in English would appeal to English speaking countries as well as other people with English as a second language. Still, mere front end users keep complaining about too much technical contents... The people I had in mind are beginning administrators as opposed to beginner users. If a beginning administrator has difficulty with mailing lists, she/he has bigger problems. Perhaps what I'm talking about is better described as a Skolelinux Administrators Group (The SKAG!). Most of the users would probably be better off on the forums for the software in question (eg OpenOffice). If the community of natively English speaking users increases, having a separate users list could be a good thing. On the other hand there are two contradicting issues: * splitting up this list could increase the loss by friction If it's necessary that the developers see the users problems, they could join both and continue to discuss development issues on debian-edu thereby shielding the newbie users from the finer points of ldif etc. For a beginning admin it will be very difficult to interrupt such a discussion to ask something like `when I boot a thin client, I see the starting syslogd message and then the screen goes blank'. * real front end users are not too familiar with mailing lists - a web forum possible rather matches their needs I guess it's a preference thing but I don't much like web forums. In my experience they're rather clumsy to search and use. For example I've been dealing with issues like getting etherboot/pxe working, network booting options which don't seem to do anything much, old monitors which need special host configs in ltsp etc. These would seem out of place on the developer list as they don't really reflect development issues. If a mailing list gets up and going, a good FAQ will become convenient to write for it based on the answers in the archive. Are you referring to the suggested users list, here? Or would you install a web forum for this task? No, I guess this is a real user forum (be it mailing list, web forum or whatever). However, I hadn't really thought much into this. I'm not sure if it's useful or if, as I said, the users would be better off in the OpenOffice/KDE/etc forums. Well, your questions were examples, but alas distracted people from the original subject. However, this indicates that people on this list are the most competent to answer users' problems... Sorry about that, though it was very nice to get the answers. Thanks to all concerned. I agree of course that this group are well qualified to answer questions. However it seems to me that the topic of the group would be best described as development rather than user. For my part I will happily join immediately and do my best to answer questions (though my experience of Skolelinux is currently short, I've been a few years on Debian). If some administration is required I guess I can help there too. I've never setup a public mailing list though. Gavin
