K12Linux branding ideas

[nilakhya chatterjee]

this discussion is all about the levels of abstraction everytime we dig more
deeper.

 an open source implementation is what we have supported and that too with
the original goals of LTSP

the LTSP muekow(LTSP 5) implementation was to bring in LTSP to distributions
and integrate it more tighter. k12Linux started with a goal to integrate
LTSP to Fedora ( a distribution made out of open source tools).

Way back from LTSP 3, it integrated LTSP to fedora so that its deployment is
really a breeze, but now after Muecow happened i think there is no way of
making the K12Linux brand and concentrating developement around custom spins
and  cut away from the Fedora main distribution path. because now things are
possible with the mother distribution itself and there is no issue of
uniformity.

rather we should focus on the LTSP installer that may have many more options
to tweak the Fedora itself for various implementations.

i also give encouragements to maintain additional spins in the K12 linux
domain but still the developement should be concentrated to the mother
distribution.

bcause documentation / troubleshooting / configuration issues are still
developer centric we must put all our energy to make users the king
..........rather the geeks bringing new thoughts every day. so that the "
iterative developement model "  never effects or puzzles the implementors.

supporting users with FAQ giving them multiple install paths and making the
technology more comprehensive through visual walkthroughs and documentations
should be the focus for the moment, without which no one can believe in any
"brands " we wanna make K12 into .

i am eager to do documentation and walkthroughs ......coz i know thats what
we lack @ the moment the mossssssst .
