Good point! That is actually how it worked out for DC5. I did the budgetting and all other money related issues, and I kept Andreas up to date about any changes and he did likewise. That worked very nicely and is a good idea to repeat again. Thanks for pointing that out, -Aschwin ps. As soon as you are posting to this list, I'd say you are part of the team as far as I am concerned. The mere fact that you care enough to post something, makes you a part of the effort. No matter how short lived. ;-) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
