Ads for non-commercial stuff are a little better than commercial ads. There is nothing wrong with publicizing a help request through several different channels. One can send an RFH, write a wiki page, post it on Alioth or on some mailing list. What I wouldn't like too much is a banner on www.d.o A clearly labelled link to the relevant information should be sufficient. I think it is better to make information easily accessible for someone who is interested in it than to push it out to everyone. Matthias
