> A. The masses who only want "a computer"

> B. Serious users that want reliable system and *can* do some system
> configuration but no not want to waste too much time on it. System is a work
> house, and the user is willing to pay some monetary support, i.e
> subscription.
>
> C. geeks that want to tweak whatever. May want to participate in
development.
>
> D. Server users: combination of B&C
>
> E. Broad installations in schools and offices: combination of A & B
>
> F. Game section is special, together with audio/video editing, streaming,
> creation etc. Maybe create someting like artistx, possibly by task-gaming,
> task-videoedit etc package(s).
>
>
> We need to find some directions for development
>
> For A: broad hardware support, flash live system, good installers, short
> beautiful manual/guide
>
> For B: Keep on building on drak tools, maintain a wealthy forum and wiki.
>
> For C: Good system documentation, source code handling, bugzilla, developer
> channels, developer apprentice guidance
>
>
> Yes i think we can just head on development from where we forked, but work
on
> branding, marketing, documentation, communication :)

> Just make sure we technically actually only have one system that is easily

> programs are installed, but also the visual appearance)
interesting... graham, can we add this to Target Market page?
