Right now, if I arrange for images to be referenced in /var/www/, they are accessible elsewhere (I did something like that when I used to maintain LaTeX2HTML -- the images were available both locally using a fil:// url as well as from off machine). Were I to follow this proposed polisy, that would not be the case.

But the part we need most help with is flushing out the issues in the BTS, updating the bugs to reflect the current status, and kick starting moribund discussions (or flushing the issues out). We are also on the cusp of starting a rewrite of policy as a tight, specs/standards document, and a good practices document (look for the discussion between aj and Julian in this list). So, looking at items in current policy, and deciding where they belong in the new set of documents would help the process. The actual writing to CVS and uploading the package itself is less of a bottleneck, but we'll need to get more people in that set as well. manoj -- "If a computer can't directly address all the RAM you can use, it's just a toy." anonymous comp.sys.amiga posting, non-sequitir Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.debian.org/%7Esrivasta/> 1024R/C7261095 print CB D9 F4 12 68 07 E4 05 CC 2D 27 12 1D F5 E8 6E 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C
