Thanks :)
I'd like to raise this part of Erinn's mail again. Unfortunately, we have a lot of familiar names who've responded to this mail. While these are the names of people who have thought long and hard about this problem, I think it's important for all of us to step back and listen to people who are outside the magic circle and looking to get in. A number of contributors to this list are here because they don't fit the classic mold of a Debian Developer, and I think it's important that we hear them. Erinn has given us all a great opportunity here, so we shouldn't squander it. So come on all you lurkers! Tell us what you think. Please don't think that you have to solve all these problems yourself, but voicing your thoughts and doubts is all that's needed. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
