Hi, I think that could be some "Desktop" common goals for UbuntuLinux UserLinux and Debian Destkop:
- Introducing a graphical boot in Debian: IMHO, actually the best solution is Gensplash http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/ - Working on Debian Control Center: http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianControlCenter - Developing a gtk frontend for the new Debian installer: Kov had started some preliminary work on this issue. http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2004/06/msg00004.html and following. - Improve Apt-watch: apt-watch is a tool (desktop applet) which monitors apt repositories for updates, particularly security updates. http://alioth.debian.org/projects/apt-watch/ - Working on an option like "rpm -h" for dpkg system: This could improve usability of apt frontends like apt-watch and synaptic for newbie users. - Improve initd and Kernel optimization for Desktop. Some of this issues are discussed here: http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianDesktop. If Userlinux and UbuntuLinux developers thinks that this could be common goals for the "upstream" Debian some discussion and ideas about this issues could be discussed on the "neutral" :) debian-desktop mailing list.
