Thanks for the answer. By the way, i'm not sure how i should answer on mailing lists... Sorry, i'm not used to it (i've always been afraid of polluting my mailbox). Should i answer only to gnewsense-dev, or both, as i do now?
Just answer to the list only (unless you suspect that the one you're replying to is not on the list (anymore)).
Concerning parkes, you got the point. I use gnewsense since some time now, but being a very old debian addict i was looking for the same based on debian instead of ubuntu. I discovered metad was not maintained anymore and so i started to make my own distrib, until i heard about parkes.
Less maintained is a better choice of words. It's only active for mipsel (Yeeloong) currently.
So, long story short, instead of making my own distrib, i prefer working on a project that already have some maturity and active members. As for my skills... Well, c++, php, html, bash, perl, system administration... I also know a little (or more) about python, javascript, c, asm, zsh, network administration, network/system security... I'm using linux since about 10 years now, and use all my free time for coding various stuff, often useless :) (or not?).
I'm sure we can take advantage of you (and I mean that in a good way ;) ) somehow.
My ultimate goal is to make a distrib i could use in my camping-car (is that the right word in english?), that means intuitive interface on one or several touch-screens, providing easy accessibility to multimedia (video, audio, photos...), net (wifi, browser..), communication (social sites interface, chat, voip...), gps... So, where do i start? Any bzr or other kind of bts from where i could get parkes?
We keep the (unfinished) scripts that will be used to set up and maintain Parkes at in Bazaar [1]. Also have a look at our bug reports [2] and task list [3], or even Debian's bug reports [4].
Feel free to ask questions and make suggestions here or in #gnewsense-dev. We want to help you help us.
