Re: Re: Live CD as a focal point for reviving Jr development

Hello Ben & al,


With several people interested to participate, it could be interesting 
to have kind of remote tools to design and build the cd-rom: describing 
the menus, translating the menu entries, small documentation, remote 
build of the cd-rom. Next it could make life easier to produce regular 
release, something like once a year.

For the latest freeduc-cd editions (freeduc-primary and freeduc-games), 
I wrote  a web application to design the menu layout in profiles, 
categories and menu entries. Next a profile is used to build the 
dependences list then to build semi-automaticaly the live-cd.
