But that's something to iron out +</I>><i> of practice. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Would be good/obvious for Mageia.org to provide tools for that, but +</I>><i> indeed, letting these groups experiment with unused, outside tools is +</I>><i> a good opportunity as well. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> As for the "Install from Windows" thing, that could be a start, but +</I>><i> (these are general points anyway): +</I>><i> - before, or while building this work group, you have to assess the +</I>><i> value of having an Linux installer from Windows; that is, goal is not +</I>><i> to make a "me too" installer; goal is to understand why/if there needs +</I>><i> to be a Linux installer from Windows in the first place and if there +</I>><i> is a user-benefit of having one on the large scale and in the user +</I>><i> flow (that is, as several pointed out in the thread, isn't this more +</I>><i> like a "fast" answer to a problem that has not been thought deeply +</I>><i> enough?) => in short, what problem does this solve? is it really the +</I>><i> problem? is it really a good solution? +</I>><i> - for instance, is it to fully replace the system? dual boot? user to +</I>><i> decide? will the user be properly reassured about the process, her +</I>><i> data and really understand what is going to happen? +</I>><i> - note that this is not to discourage, it's to test the idea; +</I>><i> moreover, there can be other benefits from working on a Windows-based +</I>><i> Linux installer (if ever): knowledge, inter-systems operatins, doc, +</I>><i> skills; +</I>><i> - volunteers should spec this (a short one will do), what they expect +</I>><i> to demonstrate as a proof-of-concept (working program, user flow +</I>><i> project), build the work group (for instance here, will likely need a +</I>><i> Windows system developer at least), focus and then go ahead. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Romain +</I>><i> +</I> +Just in case you are not aware, there is a survey on the discuss list +trying to collect this particular data.
