With Quirky released as "experimental", it's up to the community what to support as the next official release. The missing parts of a good public release, like themes, are already in puppeee, while package compatibility is already in Woof.
If Fluppy, as described, will be more general-purpose, I vote to support it as the next official release.

This resultant puplet might be the one to recommend to newcomers.

Fluppy will be aimed at netbooks and newer laptops; it will be built using Puppeee as a base. It may be able to run on older machines.

I'm considering using Quirky as the base for Puppeee/Fluppy 5. It's either that or the upcoming EB4. I think using Quirky would be a lot easier for me, but it would miss Debian package compatibility.

As I understand it, she would prefer to use Quirky as a base for the next iteration of Puppee. So if Quirky was chosen as the base for a new Puppy hybrid project, a possible outcome of this could be something called Puppee Netbook Hybrid or some such variation on this.
