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.
- 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.
