Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
as announced last week, I'd like to find a new maintainer for the Swedish voice prompts for Asterisk. The current package is technically the newest version available, but I doubt that Asterisk hasn't gained a significant amount of new features in the last four years, so several "standard" prompts may me missing now. The packaging itself is simple, as only a bunch of data files needs to be installed, so it is suitable for beginners. The major difficulty in maintaining the package is that you cannot easily fix problems in upstream's data, given that they are voice recordings -- so apart from packaging technicalities, the central maintenance task is communication with upstream. There is one open bug, related to voicemail prompts; I'm currently unsure whether it is trivial or would require upstream action. The packager should ideally speak Swedish natively, both to verify issues with the package and for easier communication with upstream; also, experience with Asterisk is a major bonus. It should be possible to maintain this package as part of the VoIP team or on your own, depending on your preference; as far as I know, the team does not have a native Swedish speaker, so they can only help with technical issues (their build system is not for the faint of heart, though).
