I'm not familiar with dcd or lletters. Freeciv I am familiar with, and you're correct, it does need some work. I've witnessed some very odd and unacceptable behaviour. I'd be willing to take it over and work on the bugs. However, my Maintainer status is still pending. (Though hopefully not for long..) If Tony is willing to sponsor me on this, I'll take it. BTW, aren't the freeciv-gtk and freeciv-xaw3d packages maintained by Lalo also? Seems that since they depend on shared files from the freeciv package, the same person needs to take all 3.. > The 2 first mentionned packages have few bugs and may be easy to take > over.
