Mariwal -

As I explained in the first email, this would be controversial.
Indeed, it has sparked this whole "pink" discussion that is clearly
showing that women are as diverse as men and the assumption that all
little girls like pink is incorrect.

To drag us back on topic here, if you are serious about this can you
please clarify the points below that Miriam outlined? Once we know
what your actual goals and methods are so we can help or point you in
the direction of Edubuntu, which might be a more appropriate place for
your project.

Cheers,

Lyz/pleia2
