Thanks for your post,
the problem with any project that hinges on a small development team is that if that disappears the project can fall over.
Whilst Luke steared Vinux to image builds relying upon live build it also is a steep learning curve for the development team.
I've spent much time trying to learn live build and also the bzr tools which have now moved to git.
If anyone in our community has experience with these tools I would much like to hear from them.
Vinux used to base upon a set of build scripts which took a lot of maintaining and time to iron out bugs with triggering of manual builds occuring often.
Basing upon Mate is a good idea as our last release had Unity, Mate and Gnome offering an alternative for many.
Vinux had a vision when starting to not exist, to the end that accessibility would be good enough mainstream.
Has it met that target? Is there still a need for an accessible distro?
Good topics for debate, other distros have picked up the slack like Slint and projects like Raspberry-vi, Stormux and Fenrir.
Personally I will continue to support Vinux and explore options for its continued development. I also am just one person with limited inner workings of distribution building and packaging plus have family and fulltime work like so many of us.
The fact that Vinux offered a platform to support people to dive into Linux and then they went off and found something different and are happy, means that Vinux has had a purpose.
I welcome feedback and offerings of other projects as it all supports each other with the sharing of information.
Warm regards
Rob Whyte

For me, I want this list to stick around. I suggest people join the mailing list for Slint if they’re interested in Slint and unsubscribe from this list if they aren’t interested in Vinux.

I’m sorry but I’m confused by this post David. The message I was responding to was that this list should change it’s name to the Slint list or that the list should be shutdown since Vinux is dead. I never challenged the statement on whether Vinux was dead or not. I just said that there’s no reason to change this to a Slint list since a Slint list already exists. There’s also no reason for this list to go away just because Vinux isn’t under development at the moment. I think Rob’s post is a good example of why we should keep this list around. Like I said, I haven’t tried Slint out yet myself, and I’m sure it’s a great distro, but there are reasons for distros to be based on distros other than Slackware. Also what happens if the Slint developer moves on to something else? I get the argument about spreading resources too thin, but there’s also a lot of good reasons to have multiple distributions.

Ah, I see. I didn’t pick up on that sarcasm.
I agree with everything you say. I guess my one difference of opinion though is that although we can encourage the scarce resources working on Linux accessibility to work together, people are still going to be people and someone may just want to work on an Ubuntu distribution and not a Slackware distribution, or someone may want to try something on their own instead of trying to get a team to adopt their idea and so on. This is the beauty of Linux and open source, and although it might lead to some fragmentation, it also leads to more innovation. What would have happened if the Slint developer had been discouraged from doing his own thing and was directed to work with someone else? We may not have Slint in that case. Note this is just a hypothetical example. I don’t think this happened and I don’t think anyone is currently being discouraged from anything. People are just pointing out what’s already been done, which is a good thing.
