That sounds like something that *might* work, but I'd be very wary of committing to anything without a detailed proposal. What would be your expectation of cost, for example? I've also had it suggested that we could/should pay for similar evaluations for government usage around the world, but that can get *very* expensive with no guarantee of any benefit at all. I'll admit that I also have misgivings about just passing on to third parties the money that donors have chosen to give to *us*. I'd rather investigate other avenues to use the money directly within Debian, to be frank. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
