This resulted in very interesting discussions. As promised back then, all the answers from all distros I contacted can be read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lucas-nussbaum.net\/distributions\/\">on the web<\/a> or as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lucas-nussbaum.net\/distributions\/distributions.mbox.gz\">an mbox file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Freedesktop.org kindly agreed to host a mailing list to ease discussions between distributions, and act as a central point of contact.  You can <a href=\"http:\/\/lists.freedesktop.org\/mailman\/listinfo\/distributions\">subscribe<\/a>, and post to distributions at lists dot freedesktop dot org.<\/p>\n<p>This mailing list is for people involved (or interested) in the development of distributions. Questions that are on-topic are both technical and social\/organizational issues, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you achieve graphical boot in your distro? Do you use some kind of dependancy-based or events-based boot?<\/li>\n<li>How do you package both ruby 1.8, ruby 1.9 and jruby, or handle KDE vs KDE4?<\/li>\n<li>Do you use a system that gives a limited set of rights to new contributors?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Off-topic stuff obviously include trolling about which distribution is the best one, or user support.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to forward this announcement to all interested parties.  Let&#8217;s make this mailing list something useful together!<\/p>\n<p>Also, I really apologize for procastinating announcing this list for sooo long. I&#8217;m really good at procastinating interesting stuff, it seems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago, I asked a set of questions on development mailing lists of a few GNU\/Linux distributions.
