I'm interested in understanding the best ways to use Debian Junior!

There are kids in my family to give gifts to.

Also if Debian Junior (well configured?) is good at being "simple and safe" enough for a kid, then there are also some elderly people in my family who might ALSO be helped by "a protectively simple system" (that they could bond with their grandkids by using what the grandkids are using)?

The best way to learn about best practices in this space seems like it might be to do some realtime chat about what people have seen work and not work... and so... is there anywhere "Debian Junior people" hang out and sometimes do realtime chatting?

Cheers!

Jennifer

Debian Junior is still in development. I hope we are able to
provide a Live System image, soon. Some technical tasks already
done.

Currently, the main focus is to get an live image and I hope we
will be able to add Debian Junior into the Debian Installer.

But, there are a lot of more tasks which I need to work on (e.g.
documentation, system menu and toolbar,..) I have some more
ideas, but it will take time.

You can find more information about the project on Debian's Wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianJr

There is an IRC channel and a XMPP Multi User Chat (Jabber) for
Debian Junior.
