نقاش:Arabbix2

Here is the data from the old wiki... I chose not to include it on the page as you know best what should go there

--Djihed 07:40, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

* Arabbix'll include ONLY FLOSS as defined by the DFSG.
* Arabbix'll be based on the latest morphix base for hardware detection and for the ease of
  maintainability
* All the procedure followed to generate the Arabbix ISO/Create Main or Mini modules for arabbix should be documented in order to allow anyone to customize it and/or even create his own ISO from scratch.
* All of the arabeyes customization things'll be modularized as much as possible via morphix
  minimodules, to ease the future updates and to allow other LUGS/individuals to customize
  arabbix to fit their needs. Because Arabeyes is not exactly an advocacy organization, so
  while arabeyes will use Arabbix to demonstrate our work and the FOSS
  arabic desktop from time to time most of the advocacy will be done by
  LUGs magazine and other similar entities.
* Arabbix'll include ALL the software by arabeyes.org which all parties agree upon, Other software'll be kept in a separate module so that it'll be easy for anyone to discard it when he is building his LiveCD based on Arabbix.
* Cooperation with other lugs is the aim, As well as cooperation between the lugs themselves.
  That's why we try to modularize in order to allow others to easily build a
  branded arabbix CD, our hope is others will contribute to the core
  arabbix project, cooperate with each other (if EGLUG adds some
  introductory docs the LLUG can use them if LLUG adds a nice theme maybe
  EGLUG can use it etc.), and off course we hope people will always give
  credit to the arabeyes project.

* As much as possible we should try to contribute to Morphix directly.

ROADMAP

1. first alpha release (in few days):

this will basicaly be latest morphix with arabic locale, translations

and keymap

1. first beta release:

added arabeyes software

1. first rc:

added arabeyes artwork, docs and did customization to the configs

1. stable:

rc with any bugs tailored out

We hope to see at least one branded distro based on the first release

2nd release:

• move to gnome 2.8 if it is 100% arabized by that time or 2.6 if not,

if morphix already caught up stick to what they offer, if not do our own gnome MainModule and contirbute it to morphix

• update all major software
• get any useful contributions from third party branded CDs like

general docs, configs, etc.

• fix any bugs, commit to morphix if they're upstream bugs
• make Arabbix a reference implementation of SAIS

Then we remain static until one of the following happens:

- A new OpenOffice release.
- A new 100% arabised version of GNOME "as arabbix'll be based on GNOME, though it can

be easely adapted via morphix mainmodules"

- Morphix base updates.
- Any 3 arabeyes applications outdated in arabbix
- upon the release of an application that is considered vital such as the C++ version of

duali.
