Hi Rudy and Nic, Rudy: Nic has given us some valuable help in savannah-hackers in various ocassions. If his name does not seem familiar to you, it is because he has not written to the savannah-hackers list lately.
If I remember correctly, Nic had volunteered to take care of requests to import CVS repositories into Savannah, but I do not think he is currently doing it :-) On Thu, Jul 31, 2003 at 09:23:21PM +0100, Nic wrote: > I understand this point.

The problem is that it is hard to give the responsability of accepting projects to some volunteer who is not very familiar with Savannah policies. > You could at least have mailed savannah-hackers with a very obvious > message, maybe: > WE ARE SWAMPED, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS when the pending projects queue starts growing fast, one can hardly find any time even to post a message asking for help. Rudy has done an excellent job this week, considering I've left him with over 15 pending projects that I could not manage to handle on my turn last week :) > I don't have a lot of time.

I have included you in project Savannah. One thing you could do to help us would be answering help requests and bug reports for Savannah. Rudy is currently replying to help requests, which does not leave him much time for project moderation. I think you also have enough experience to handle projects approvals if you would be willing to give us a hand. The best way to do it is to start by answering project registrations, sending your answers to rudy, yeupou, loic and villate @gnu.org, pretending you were the system administrator. After a few days you get used to it and we can judge whether you are ready for the task. > I'm sure there are other people lurking on the savannah-hackers > mailing list who would be willing to do a short amount of time. They are always welcome to help us. It may take some time for us to get them started when they are not familiar with Savannah administration, but if they are willing to spend some time, we'll teach them.
