+> So as planned when starting discussion, here is the final set of isos
+> that will be built for Mageia 3. We have listed all the proposals and
+> explanations (from both this ML and forums) to find a list that would
+> satisfy most of Mageia users.

+> Here is the list (Thanks MrsB for doing it first :) ):
+> 
+> 2 liveCDs:
+> 
+>  - GNOME 700M i586 - english only - Nonfree
+>  - KDE   700M i586 - english only - Nonfree
+> 
+> These are mainly targetted for distribution during events or for Newspapers
+
+The target audience is not too little to justify the extra QA?
+Is it worth having them at all?
+(Note that I'm among the ones who still uses CDs, a CD-RW)
+
+If we keep them, we should show them as unimportant from a marketing
+point of view (i.e. last in the list of media).
+Otherwise the headlines will be "Mageia gives up on internationalization
+for Mageia 3" or "Mageia gives up on x86_64 for Mageia 3".
+The headlines should be "Mageia turns to LiveDVDs for Mageia 3".
+
+> 4 liveDVDs:
+> 
+>  - GNOME DVD i586   - all locales - Nonfree
+>  - GNOME DVD x86_64 - all locales - Nonfree
+>  - KDE   DVD i586   - all locales - Nonfree
+>  - KDE   DVD x86_64 - all locales - Nonfree
+
+These are now the main media then.
+
+> Classic Installation ISOs
+> 
+>  - LXDE DualCD - all locales - Free only
+>  - DVD i586    - all locales - Free/Nonfree
+>  - DVD x86_64  - all locales - Free/Nonfree
+> 
+> DVDs will propose by default 100% free software installation. Users will
+> be asked if he wants to use non free drivers. This is still to be done
+> inside drakx installer and will not be available yet for alpha 2 release.
