Task list for Joey Hess
=======================
  Petter Reinholdtsen, 2004-03-29

This is a draft of the tasks relevant for Joey Hess in Skolelinux.

Goal:

  We want Sarge to release as soon as possible, including all the
  packages Debian Edu want and need to be able to release the next
  major release of Debian Edu with packages only from Sarge.

To be able to release Debian Edu with package only from Sarge, we need
to make sure

 - the packages in Sarge can be installed out of the box with the
   configuration we want to use in Debian Edu

 - all the packages we want are included in Sarge

To make this happen, at least these areas need to be covered by the
team of people working on Debian Edu:

 - Improving on debian-installer, both to make sure Sarge is released,
   but also to make sure the automatic Debian Edu installation keeps
   working while d-i is changing.

 - Keeping an eye on the ~900 packages used by Debian Edu, making sure
   the latest and greatest version is included in Sarge.  The package
   debian-edu contain the package list.

 - Finding maintainers for the packages Debian Edu want to get into
   Sarge, or maintain the packages ourselves (LTSP, locale
   configurator, Cerebrum, kde menu editor, webmin modules, nagios
   setup, java and flash browser plugins, etc).

 - Start security patching of Debian Testing, to make sure Sarge is
   easier to Release.  This includes forming a team of people working
   on this.

 - Supply patches for the existing packages in Debian to make sure
   they are usable out of the box for Debian Edu. (the config is in
   debian-edu-install and debian-edu-config).

 - Improve the upgrade path from the Debian/Woody based version of
   Debian Edu to the Debian/Sarge based version.

The technical work will be coordinated by Petter Reinholdtsen.

Success evaluation

 - Weekly reports to the list about progress and status

 - Working installation of Debian Edu based on Debian/Sarge within 2
   months.

 - Security issues in Testing should be uploaded and fixed at most 4
   days after the DSA for Stable is published.

 - The Debian Edu CD (for Woody and Sarge) should be installable at
   least 3 days in the week with no errors detected by the runtime
   test suite.

 - LTSP or a working comparable thin client solution should be
   included in the Debian after 6 months.

 - 

 - (Hm, what more is measurable about the work above?)
