Yes, indeed. It would contradict the goal of the project, wouldn't it?

I just wonder: What makes you think, I -- and all members of the
marketing list who thought the idea could be interesting -- would
not bother about the quality of support and ask a "crappy" distro for
cooperation?

Well, nevermind. You probably have your reasons. I'm a little bit
disappointed, though.

Thanks for the suggestion. :-) Unfortunatly, a website is already under
construction.

In fact, you and me already talked about it in a short 'footnotes
comments' discussion. You said something like "Don't make us enter all
the data, again" and I replied: "Developers won't need to bother about
it."

It is also already linked in the wiki. [1]

However, the university outreach project has slightly other goals
that you can't reach by using a website -- at least, from my point of
view. But if you like me to stop working on the idea, just say so.
