Hi Holger,

We now reached the point, where all this can be seen/tested in the wild aka via daily built images.
Please note, that the last relevant change did not reach testing yet, so you
will have to install sid from a trixie daily build image, to test this.
Sounds really good
The usual, good old tasksel dialog now has an additional entry at the bottom
"Choose a Debian blend for installation" (this is not chosen by default) [blendsel_1.png].
If you choose this [blendsel_2.png], the blendsel dialog will appear after tasksel has done its work [blendsel_3.png].
So, the infrastructure is ready now, and I want to ask blend people for a list of blends, that you want to be included in this mechanism.
I already came across the list in <https://salsa.debian.org/blends-team/blends/-/blob/master/doc/en/04_existing_blends.xml?ref_type=heads>
Maybe that list could serve as template?
Please provide a list at your choice.
Since not everybody is reading the Blends list I've added the relevant mailing lists in CC. I personally confirm for
Debian Med and
Debian Science
Also, if you would like to adapt the wording of the dialog, feel free to tell me.
Please spell Blend in
"Choose a Debian _b_lend for installation
with upper case _B_ (its a noun).
In the Blends selection I would start the actual selection (third image) with the
real Blend name like (and alphabetic ordering) and the "official" short description
(which each Blend in CC should answer)
Debian Astro
Debian Med (life sciences and medicine)
Debian Junior
Debian Science (various sciences)
I just noticed some mails on debian-blends, which I missed until now.
Please always keep debian-boot in the loop for the installer-team!
I'm not subscribed to all these lists!

It'd be worth checking in with others listed on [1] that have missed the discussion so far, and also pruning the list! I note Debian multimedia is dropped from [2] in the past but still on the website.
I'm slowly working on Debian Hamradio having picked up it from irl and would be interested in being on the list (and in the existing blends doc) too!
I don't know if Debian Design and DebianParl are active.
[1] https://www.debian.org/blends/
[2] https://salsa.debian.org/blends-team/blends/-/blob/master/doc/en/ 04_existing_blends.xml?ref_type=heads
Maybe it would be good, to have
https://www.debian.org/blends/ in sync
with what we have in the installer, when Trixie is released?

We should add also the Debian-pan blends.
It is activelay maintain by myself and the french synchrotron SOLEIL.
That's on the blends people's decision.

Proposal:
* Debian Junior (children and their guides)
* Debian Junior (Debian for children and their guides)
For Debian Junior it would be nice to install the package
junior-desktop when the user selects "Debian Junior".
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/junior-desktop
Ok.
Regards
Holger
