The introduction of the Salsa "debian" area - with its accompanying explicit rules of being more team-ish than the similar area in Alioth - was indeed a game changer for many packages which I had previously maintained in smaller teams. I guess (and hope) that's the case for others too. Not sure how, but it might be possible to check that thoery if possible to gather statistics of how many packages was in the Alioth debian area compared to the Salsa debian area. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
