Ok, where ?
I'm not sure and I'm reluctant to spend time on research for this,
when I have so much that I need to work on. I'm just sure that
debian-vote isn't the best place. Look at what any similar projects
have done. Are any free software drivers for other ADSL modems
available? Would they carry an appeal from you? Do they have useful
suggestions?
Discussing it with upstream was a very good idea and it seems that you
did it well. I think it sometimes works, but it doesn't sound like it
will very soon for this software.
Ok, what i have in mind, is a place, for each individual package in
non-free, where would be listed the reasons why the package is
non-free,
and also what could be done and has been done to make it more free.
I've tried to make this some sort of outline. Can someone fill in the
missing parts here, please? Does someone else want to take charge of
this?
* "Why this is non-free" PTS links:
** Ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] for advice (which is what the
front page suggests):
*** Is this best done by news items? static or normal?
** Ask others to help catalogue past discussions
*** Post summaries periodically
* "How to make a free" discussions:
** alioth project?
** advocates?
