<PRE>Hi Patricia (re-cc'ing the list),

Yes of course.

</I>
Yes. Simple.
So that would make:
* Mageia 1 DVD (32 or 64bit)
* Mageia 1 dual arch CD
* Mageia 1 netinstall CD
* Mageia 1 LiveCD (32, 64bit, locale specific)
* Mageia 1 Mobile (for an equivalent to Flash)
that we can explain in a download/selection page depending on the
intended uses, with a set of default download made available in one
click (typically, that could be the 32bit LiveCD or dualarch CD).
><i> It would be good to name Mageia releases/iterations/flavours in a
</I>><i> way that says to the newcomer: "this is for you! We hope you like it!"
</I>><i> and even "if you like it, maybe you'll join us?"
</I>
Definitely yes. That could be "platform"; although, speaking of
"Mageia platform" may refer to the project itself, the infrastructure,
or the end-product-distribution. Hence maybe the need to consider a
product-focused" name in the future, distinct from "Mageia" (that
would be the project's name).

</I>
Totally agree. I would hope that we get to the point of having
something like <A HREF="http://developer.mozilla.org/">http://developer.mozilla.org/</A> equivalent for the
developer/technical contributor side and st equivalent for
users/newcomers.
