To both these issues, I find that http://wiki.debian.org/Teams is a good solution. IMO it simply needs to be more advertised. As it seems to go precisely in the direction you have in mind, any specific reason for not mentioning it explicitly in your report mail? (though it is never too late :-)) It would have been a good advertisement for an initiative which has good chances to fulfill the needs you pointed out. Beside that, many thanks for your report/initiative! (from a lazy ass which did not find the time to reply to your survey, shame on me) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
