I soo very wish I had the chops/time/energy, as I'd be geeked to pick it up and run with it...
Puppy needs it, Puppy deserves it!

Hi Moat and all.
Some prefer to work in the shadows to avoid controversy.

It's labeled as "French" but it's actually a bilingual French-English version.
If the LANG variable for your system is en_??, everything will show up in
English.
There are three iso's available of it, with each its own kernel.
I thank Billtoo who allowed me to use some of his DPup builds and augras
for setting up the pydio repository.
One reason for working in the shadows is that I wish to offer alternative
WM's,
aewm for ex., in Puppy.
Another reason is that the Woof-CE, whatever the "Puppy breed", is
mostly offering the "same old, same old" choice of apps, which IMO are
not always the best suited for an international environment.
Improving the Woof-CE only improves the Woof-CE, meaning: the making
of one and only one type of Puppy, whereas Puppy is capable of and
should be encouraging all sorts of explorations.
Not just making a better straight-jacket, which IMO is what's happening
with the Woof-CE process. Or making a better robot, since the Woof-CE
can be viewed as a robot, come to think of it. A helpful robot, no doubt,
but still a robot. And a human can only go so far with a robot.
Nobody at the Woof-CE level seems to have paid any attention to
josejp2424's pupjibaro's Jessie abandoning the PPM, and to reports that
the PPM is not working as expected when the Puppy is running as a
French system.
Enough said. Remastering still has its virtues -- and pkgs.org!
BFN.
