The LiveBackup system from sourceforge is not debianized. It is good to hear that all the packages on the CD are Debian Packages, nevertheless for getting them integrated into the official distribution we need to include them. Please notice that I don't want to judge or say that only official software included in Debian or Debian-Edu is good, that's not my intention. > And the goal of SkoleLiveCd is to show new features in a way, > that it can be tested without installing. > > It can be our showcase for marketing, for demonstrations, for > events and talks to promote free software, skolelinux, free > e-learning software moodle, new french teaching software, some > information about creativ commons are planned and so on.

What exaclty needs to be translated, the packages? Therefore I suggest to put the manpower on integrating them into Debian and Debian-Edu, because then we also reach a lot of translators within Debian and can benefit from that. > so please contact Xavier and support him to build the debian packages of > CipUX. We need a new and better user administration on the etch version.

Because we need to solve two things, first decide from were to image, I would suggest developer @Pere/Werner: What's your opinion? Any plans for developer so far? Second one would be to integrate the packages and make them official, otherwise we would have a completely different LiveCD than the german team has. A third point would maybe be that LiveBackput itself is not debianized and I would like to see that too, any volunteers? I can maybe also have a look. Cheers Steffen
