    It is likely to be a great help: more folk helping to maintain the
software in Debian Multimedia means fewer bugs for users.  While it
will create yet another ISO that folk might install, since we'll have
almos the same packages, users will more readily be able to share
experiences and identify/address specific issues common to both.

    That said, there is likely great value in our reaching out to
the TangoStudio folk, and ensuring that there is some separation of
the intended audience or the specific areas of work: it would be
unfortunate for this opportunity for collaboration to end up being
competition over who has the better wallpaper.
