I'm sure that SPI would pick this up, since you and Michael are heavily involved in SPI. However, I am not sure that we should ask SPI to pick this up. It sounds more like it's mostly our idea which we are claiming they can use, without a visible need beforehand. I've found that getting stuff without a need seen often leads to unused stuff... and I'm worried that once you and Michael become less active, this could be forgotten. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 352 days, 23:29 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
