Strictly speaking I am a member of the associated Unix group... due to my work on developers-reference at that time. But I agree with you that the team is very loosely defined and it doesn't make much sense to restrict that page in any such way. > If we wish to publish this on our www.debian.org/doc/ site, all I have > to do is add the debian-handbook to the list of documentation published > via cron script > git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/debwww/cron.git > specifically parts/7docs > > This unpacks packages and publishes them on our www.debian.org/doc/ site. I would prefer if we could keep a simple reference to the main site that I maintain instead of hosting a full copy of it because as you noted the version hosted on my website includes a link towards a download page where readers can also donate. And it's also more regularly updated than the package (in particular for translations). You can still provide individuals links for each translation and possibly also links to the different formats available... But I fully agree that useful documentation should be listed in /doc/ even when it has not been produced under the "Debian Doc" umbrella. That team has always been a loosely defined team and most of the documents tend to have dedicated maintainers with relatively few overlap between all the documents. So IMO we should find a way to include links in that page. What matters is to make useful DFSG-free content available to our users.
