GetDeb v2 Beta is a major milestone on the GetDeb project development,
as it addresses most of the technical limitations of the current
system/engine that we have been using on the last 3 years.
The major improvements are:

    * Software installation using a GPG signed APT repository with
mirror distribution
    * Single click installation even for multi-package installs
    * Automatic software updates (from the repository)
    * New design - for the first time not based on a Ubuntu offical site
    * Web based applications publishing


These changes will increase our ability to provide more and better
packages in a safely manner.
Most of the effort was invested at the APT-Portal project, which is
shared with Playdeb and because is open source it can be used by by
other teams to deploy their own repository based portals.

Both the design and code base -rewritten in python- still need a lot
of work, if you have any skills with Python/HTML/CSS/AJAX please join
the developers team.
