Apologies for missing your meaning, but that phrase (&quot;there is NO
trumpeting, that's advertising&quot;) can be read two different ways
depending upon what you take &quot;that's&quot; to be modifying, i.e. trumpeting
or what you're advocating.


&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> You're reading a hell of a lot more in there than I put. You seem to be 
</I>&gt;<i> talking at cross purposes.  When I say inclusion I mean inclusion of another 
</I>&gt;<i> market that hasn't been catered to before.   You're talking about packages, 
</I>&gt;<i> I'm talking about people. 
</I>&gt;<i>   
</I>
No, your original post talked about packages, to quote:

********************************************

So for instance as well as the standard software, educational programmes would 
be installed by default, be NetSafe (Dans Guardian), have OOo4Kids installed 
as well as a full office suite, Tuxtype, TuxPaint and so on.

Documentation added to show parents how to set up accounts for the kids and 
how to make it Net safe.
****************************************

That is a clear recommendation to configure the distro for that target
audience.  Installing a lot of kid-friendly packages implies they have
to be in the ISOs, which means that some other packages won't be.

&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Now I'm convinced we're not talking about the same thing.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> You seem to think we are wanting to embark on some global advertising campaign
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> And all I want is to decide what colour pallet  our logo and webpage should 
</I>&gt;<i> use.  By figuring out what a primary target market is we can then figure out 
</I>&gt;<i> the colours that will suit that demographic.  That's it Simple!
</I>&gt;<i>   
</I>
As I pointed out above, you advocated targeting the distribution
*itself* to a niche market.  I really have no interest in what colors
the website uses; my replies were prompted because I have lots of
interest in what the distro contains.
