Viewing it from a different angle, investing our unpaid free time in
such endeavours definitely is giving back what we already got in
advance
for free.
All the free software included with Debian and all those other
wonderful
projects, and which we take granted for daily use since at least two
decades now, truly is a priceless wealth, for which i am very
thankful,
indeed.
But that's another discussion not really belonging here.
If somebody donate money in the wmlive project
homepage, please, share it with me ;-)
No problem! ;)
Send "my" money to the Debian project.
The wmaker-common package already exists in Debian. It contains the
common (architecture independent) files. I am not sure about the
customization scripts, because they should be integrated in Debian,
and probably some things are included. For example, you should check
the menu generation, currently in Debian it uses
/etc/menu-methods/wmaker, but I am not sure if you are using xdg (at
least in the previous CD version).
The ISO basically uses what is provided by the Debian waker packages
for
the basic menu generation. But the default user menu on the actual
preconfigured desktop is tailored manually, with the debian generated
menus being included as sub menus.

I don't know how to remove "Applications/" form the wmaker-method
script (doing it in the correct way)
The xdg-based Debian menus for wmaker require a serious overhaul, as
they are far from having any good usability in their layout. There
are
far too many menu sub levels, with the applications unnecessarily
being
many mouse clicks too much away. While this may conform to menu
policy
from a technical standpoint, it doesn't consider any usablilty
aspects.
We need to find a suitable technical compromise for this.
xdg should be dropped from wmaker. wmaker menu works fine.
Is better check one by one your changes. Of course, scripts for
firefox, thunderbird (icedove/weasel) cannot be installed in the
wmaker (wmaker-common) package.
Sure, all this additional stuff which is not directly related to
wmaker
itself doesn't belong to wmaker-common at all. You are absolutely
right
in that the changes have to be carefully chosen.
We will take care of that once i am more content with the still not
fully satisfying wmlive customizations.
IMO, we should work together. If the wmaker packages are fine, the
wmlive work probably can be packaged in a new package. Then, downloading
the iso, adding the wmaker packages and the wmlive package with the
configuration, is the better way to do it.
Best regards,
