Still too early to share anything really, but I have various pieces of vapourware that are evolving to the point where they can actually talk to each other to work together as a system installer. Long-term I think I can put together a better universal installer than Calamares, imho they got a lot of things right, but we need something that's not tied to a specific GUI toolkit and that's more modular. My focus this month is mostly on partitioning stuff.
@awai Ah nice, haven't seen that one it, always interesting to see how people implement it and what problems they are solving!

@highvoltage @awai there's also OS Installer by Peter Eisenmann; GTK + Python based. I feel like Debian could use a "sleek" installer and ab wxpert one to ease access for first-time users
@werdahias @awai It reminds me quite a bit of Calamares although using the Gnome backends instead of KDE... almost like a Galamares :P
