Are you doing this all with scripts, other than the actual artwork? If so,
will you make the scripts available on opensuse.org, or
opensuse-community.org? I'd be interested in seeing your total approach,
and I'm sure others would also.

opensuse-community.org? What is that? I also do not see anything there
that could not be on openSUSE itself. To me it looks like Yet another
Wiki Page. If they would focuss on things that are NOT allowed on
openSUSE.org, lice codecs and such, then I would agree and happily work
with them.

Now I see that people writing for opensuse-community.org won't spend
that time writing for openSUSE.org itself. The fact that they completely
disrespect trademarks does not help either.

The scripts are already public. Look at the "Short version" of the
second URL?
* Download the ISOs you desire
* If you need extra RPM's, download them
* Run makeSUSEdvd -i [any other parameter]
* Run rembrand -b "#FF00FF" -R /tmp/pink_rpms *.rpm
* Edit, remove and change anything you desire
* Run makeSUSEdvd -C

Fun part: rembrand can't keep its Changelog up to date, because David is
working overtime on this. :-D

Obviously you could put the above into a script. Things you will need to
make it 'complete'
1) Someone who can make alternative images.
2) Do some serious additional changes, so there will be a need to
download. e.g. include MPlayer and such. That can be easily done by just
adding Guru and Packman as repo's. To do that in a nice way, the keys
should be included, so you do not get a warning when downloading.

This is excellent. Somewhere I got the idea that David was doing this as an
after rembrand thing, rather than as bug fixes to rembrand. Obviously I
missed some part of the discussions. Silly me. ;P

Thanks for setting me straight.
