The FTP admins, the master copy is available using anonymous rsync in ftp-master.debian.org::masterfiles, IIRC. I investigated on this a few days ago. > - figure out if all of the info in master:/org/debian.org/mail/alias can be > published or if there's some mail magic in there that shouldn't be ona web > page ITYM automatically published... but it wouldn't be very useful, it seems. It'd be like http://www.debian.org/devel/maintainer_contacts, just more crowded with names (but OTOH it wouldn't need constant maintenance). > - write scripts to generate sub-page with real addresses: Parse the org > page, read the alias file, and generate a web page with a table to be linked > from org page. The purpose of a page with real names and (especially) real addresses is doubtful. People shouldn't contact developers personally if e.g. something needs to be done on the web pages, they should mail the alias. > - automatically generate a link into the debian-mailing list page to get > mailing list descriptions The mailing lists' pages need to be reorganized and broken out in sections, that would be more browsable: user -- User lists devel -- Development lists int -- Internationalization and Translations ports -- Ports to non-i386 architectures bugs -- The Bugtracking System foreign -- Lists hosted for other projects And then we should have links to the specific list, e.g. <a href="/MailingLists/devel#debian-mentors">debian-mentors</a>. Such pages should also unify mailing list subscription and unsubscription, per list. The script that generates the pages, mklist, and the lists.cfg file, may be found in my home directory on master, ~joy/, so if anyone's interested in doing this, please feel free. If not, I'll do it. One day. :) -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
