Well, now that you ask so nicely, I don't think I can ;-) > As a general answer: posting to blogs is usually faster than the > "proper" way to do things (in this case whishlist bug report + patch for > the developers reference), that's why it is usually preferred. Of course > this is ok only if followed by the "proper" way. Well, I would suggest that a post to debian-devel or even d-d-a is better than a blog post only. There are so many posts on planet that, even though I read it regularly, I probably miss half of them. I hadn't even thought about the reference. That's indeed a good way to go, but the problem with doing that only is that existing developers won't learn about it very quickly. > Feel free to help in any way you want, writing a Wiki page for example, > or being faster than me in submitting the whishlist bug report against > the developer reference :-) Does highlighting the topic on -devel count? ;-) Thanks for doing this, BTW. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
