Hi, Distressingly, I find that people in this discussion seem to have the attitude that in some way people are obligated to feed them information about votes, policy changes, etc, and that they have a right to be involved in everything Debian does.
This is a voluneteer organization. Voting is not a right. It is part of the work that is done to make Debian better (by making informed choices). Like any other work, this requires getting involved. It is not as if the information is hidden. It is also perfectly OK not to have either the time or the inclination to be involved in this extra work. Nothing is forcing you to do this. People who vote and work on -legal or -publicity are choosing to get involved. No body is presenting them things on a silver platter. The Web pages and the developers reference mentions the mailing list file (publically available) that tells you what the mailing lists are all about. From mailing-lists.txt debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org Description : Announcements of development issues like policy changes, important release issues &c. Moderated : no Subscription: open The information is there. It is merely not being spoon fed. manoj -- Your mode of life will be changed for the better because of good news soon.
