What would you like to see in 3.0? Are there a things that are not included that you would like? Is 2.3 starting to feel out of date? How many people want KDE 3.1? What about the latest GNOME and GTK2? What about catagories as in multimedia and such? Would you like to see more packages in the contrib section of apt? I am was thinking that an online package database would be nice. Like the one that the fink project uses.

Then people can add packages to the unstable until they get approved but while they are being tested other people as in us can test them out too. I think that this would be the best way to get flush out packages avaible to the yellow dog distro.

Tony,

    It is good to here you are still a yellow dog user. I think that these bugs that you have may be able to be solved if we had a unstable section for yellowdog. Even if we had an ftp server that we could all use for yellowdog it would help. If people got more involved as a team. This means the ydl developers and the users of the product all of our eyes would get threw these bugs really fast. Then you would see things dropping from unstable to stable allot faster. We could have a package request database too! That would really rock the world. Then someone anyone can take up that project as a mainter. We could have multiple mainters and pick the best packages that work the best. I think we need to have a upstream downstream system for making sure things work correctly. In the end it just makes sense. Like having a maintainer for keeping up with the latest mozilla beta releases would be really nice. I don't mind using Mozilla 1.3b. It would be nice if that was in the unstable section. There are too many things to write here at this moment. Yellow Dog has got to be the best Linux Distro for the ppc arch IMHO! So lets all get together and make it flushed out with the best and latest software available to the savy and non savy YDL users. We can all work together as a team and really make a difference.
