Let me take this opportunity to make a call for Volunteers to help get DFMR
(Debian Freshmeat Repository) online. We've made a few calls so far, and
mostly, we don't have a good set of people yet. Surely, there are a few
Debian mentors out there willing to lend a hand?
Things like the above would be perfect for DFMR: an aptable site, with lots
of diverse packages, hopefully used by enough people that packages could be
thoroughly tested out, and still not require people to get sponsors or be a
Debian maintainer themselves yet.
If we got 2 volunteers, just 2 more, I think we would be ready to get this
rolling.
Please join the debian-freshmeat list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and raise your hand to volunteer. Thanks.
Seth
