Content is king, the distro should cater to support the content out of the
box, also in different locales.

The team should do distro independent  internationalisation and locales
additions. I need something to work, not start from scratch to create th

A remix of a distro is not hard. Several projects exist for this particular

Effort should be focused on bringing content. If the team cannot bring

content equals a dead end project.

Working in the government provides me plenty of time and working with
donkeys plenty of patience but I'm lazy as a physicist so effort will be
hard.
