Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Hyperbola evaluation

[bill-auger]

there is no expected format fir discussions as such - all of the
formalities are embodied on the "Incoming Distros" wiki - anything that
is not described there is open for discussion

one thing i did not expect is so much information at once - maybe it
would be most useful to take each criteria item as a separate thread
each as they come along so they dont get tangled over time - like:
"Hyperbola: No name confusion" and "Hyperbola: Avoids propaganda" and so
on - that is how i expected they would probably come along one by one
over time and that each of these items would take some time and
discussion - you did good though, there is a lot of good starting
information here

judging from the past, it has taken a very long time for each distro to
be approved - right now there are already 2 ahead of hyperbola - even if
the hyperbola review were completed today, it could still be a year or
more before the FSF starts their internal review - there is little
chance of another jumping ahead of hyperbola so there is no reason to
move quickly with any of these

you may need to be extra patient at this particular moment in time
because right now, the group is a somewhat of a lull - i think that most
people at this time, including myself, are suspending their
participation; while awaiting "with bated breath" a uniform decision
regarding the connochaetos and pureos kernels
