Debian Science
Goals
- Provide to researchers and scientists better experience when using Debian.
- Classify, package and distribute free software useful to science and research.
- Support any quality efforts around free scientific software.
Maintaining the [:DebianScience/CDD:Debian Science CDD]
How to use it?
- You can use Debian Science perfectly as you are using Debian because it is a completely internal project and is nothing else than Debian itself. We just felt a need to found a team that works as a strike force for scientific software inside Debian.
- There have been efforts to create a CDD (Custom Debian Distribution) for Debian/Science, but at the moment no installer is available. Please see the section: ["DebianScience/CDD"]
A proposal to create a custom repository for science-related unofficial packages has been made; See DebianScience/UnofficialRepository

metapackages
The aim of the [http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/index.html Debian Science metapackages] is to provide a useful set of packages for someone working in a particular scientific field.
[1] [http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/ Debtags] are a means of classifying packages.
[2] RFP/ITP - Request for package / Intent to package - these are pseudo bugs that track which packages have been requested and whether someone is working on them.

How to join
Debian Science has a mailing list [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/ debian-science] ([http://murphy.debian.org/lists/debian-science/details.html its statistics]) created [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00000.html thanks to Pascal Hakim]. And if you wonder why the mailing-list reply-to is set to the author instead of the list itself, [http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html read this].
