there are no politcally incorrect questions. with mageia, we'll try to
be as transparent as possible, to avoid doing the same errors (come on,
there are a whole lot of other possible mistakes to be done! :-) )

&gt;<i> 1) Is Mageia just a publicity stunt to generate some more users for
</I>&gt;<i> the same Mandriva, as it might be understood from your letter?
</I>
no. mageia is a mandriva fork, and there's no plan to re-unite the
forks. there will be 2 separated distributions, each with their own
goals &amp; achievements.
 

&gt;<i> 2) Is Mageia a &quot;better Mandriva&quot; keeping good values of Mandriva, as
</I>&gt;<i> it might be understood from Jerome Quelin letter in
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://lwn.net/Articles/406058/">http://lwn.net/Articles/406058/</A>  ?
</I>
note that the mail i sent to cooker mailing list was just a copy of
    <A HREF="http://mageia.org">http://mageia.org</A>

the goal is to use mandriva as the technical base, and grow it as a
community-oriented project. so we aim at keeping what's good in
mandriva, and enhance it where it's needed.


&gt;<i> 3) Is Mageia some completely new distribution to be built from scratch
</I>&gt;<i> and having nothing in common with Mandriva Linux, as it might be
</I>&gt;<i> understood from several letters here in mageia-discuss list?
</I>
it's a fork: the base will be mandriva. but once mageia's infrastructure
is in place, we'll start updating packages &amp; the distribution as a whole
- this means that codebase will diverge more &amp; more with time.

i hope this answers your questions.
