Hi David
Thanks for the information and welcome. I would appreciate any assistance
in locating these scripts and advice setting up Cobber TDE to take
advantage of TDE's infrastructure. My plan with Cobber is to offer 2
versions of each DE. The 1st is an absolute bare bones install with just
the bare DE plus a web browser and Synaptic. This version will be for
people who have their own ideas of what applications they want. The 2nd is
a full DE with a specific set of applications for the user who just wants
their PC to do what they need with a minimum of fuss.
Cheers.
Michael.
P.S. Everything I personally create for/with Cobber will be GPL and
available either on Cobber's github page or in Cobber's sourceforge
repository.

Hi I'm Michael (k3lt01) and I am the lead
(read only) person involved in
CobberLinux (1) or Cobber for short.
The intent behind Cobber is to create an Australasian Linux that is easy
to use and suits the countries in Australasia. I have created my own
repository (using reprepro) and it is hosted on sourceforge (2). To give
Australasian users a wide variety of choices I am creating different
flavours or Cobber using different Desktop Environments. My intent is to
support, via translation and repository hosting if need be, Desktop
Environments who support Cobber's Australasian users. By this I mean
Desktop Environments that allow and encourage users to have their own
language (or national language) as standard in the distribution.
Now that I have briefly explained Cobber I have 2 questions for you.
1. How do I translate Trinity Desktop Environment into Australian (New
Zealand, Papua New Guinean) English? I have a transifex account (user
name k3lt01) and a script to do automatic translations. I have already
translated MATE, XFCE, and Pidgin messenger and will translate Gnome and
KDE when I get the time (they have a massive amount of pot files to work
through).
2. Would you like, or even allow, me to host your packages in Cobber's
sourceforge repository so that cobber users have a geographically close
mirror to access?

Good luck Michael! I maintain Exe GNU/Linux (Debian with TDE) and help
also with Refracta (xfce) live images.
I can't answer your specific questions. However if you need any help with,
e.g. hd/usb installers, master/remaster scripts, TDE-specific live-config
scripts, bloat reduction strategies etc.., feel free to ask. Such scripts
already exist for Debian, are tested and working and are GPL.
