Hello, As this is my first posting to this list, I'd better introduce myself. I'm a non-DD lurker with an interest in media applications and learning the ropes on qa issues. I hope to be able to put some effort into qa for the A/DeMuDi CDD.

Of course, some of those are deprecated, > or of bad quality, but this is not always true. I'd like to confirm this. A recent case in point was noteedit - a simple MIDI editor, which lost its maintainer last year, but still retained an active user-base. There are also multimedia applications that remain in active development by Linux Audio Developers, who provide up to date debianised packages, but have not entered into NM or are still prospects. I wonder whether the CDD framework could be used to provide foster homes for these packages. Just a thought. Back into the shadows for me. ;) cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
