The current version of the policy we're working on can be found at: http://people.debian.org/~neilm/webapps-policy/ The plan is to get this finalised and get a 1.0 release ready for the release of Etch, hopefully with all packages compliant. As it's a work in progress, it should be considered a 'best practice' document, rather than an offical policy document. Also, as this is a draft, the useage of "/usr/share/PACKAGE/www" may change. IMO, it's probably not going to, but it may be worth keeping (main) policy as is until we are in a position to release 1.0 of the WebApps policy. This could also be a good time to give the webapps list[0] a good plug :) If you would like to join in, please come help. As well as the policy, we're creating some helper applications to do tasks such as the registering of a webapp with a webserver, database table creation etc. Regards Neil McGovern [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-webapps http://alioth.debian.org/projects/webapps-common #debian-webapps on irc.oftc.net -- __ .Ž `.
