I think not even that is exactly true either, since the skills required to get a cvs account for KDE are surely somewhat above our NM checks[1]. You usually need to have a whole application written by yourself to get an account, and while this is of course somewhat similar to our "prospective DDs should have at least one package" rule, creating a Debian package is hardly comparable to creating a full-blown C++ application. (Unless, of course, the complexity of the Debian package is well above average, because of required and difficult upstream work for instance.) Cheers, Yven [1]: Well, some might of course argue: "but after the checks comes ftp-master and raises the bar infinitely, so it is *more* difficult", but I won't be beating *that* horse right now ;-) -- Yven Johannes Leist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.leist.beldesign.de
