No I didn't! Or at least it was not my intention to do so. Please point me to the parts of the text you *posted* I missed... > You are trying to redifine QA.

I'll be glad to include something like this - but I first have to see it! You posted only the uploads related material, and when I asked you to give me the whole thing you couldn't. Can you do it now? > Working on orphaned packages is only a side effect of the QA team. > It is NOT the main goal of QA. [in reply to the previous message, too] I didn't think that it was the main goal, just a (visible) duty of the group members until the maintainer is found (or the package withdrawn). I'll be happy to rephrase/change any part of the text that conflicts with this. And remember, the text is just a start. -- enJoy -*/\*- http://jagor.srce.hr/~jrodin/
