(i.e. some months after dholbach announced the motu teams model for ubuntu, debian suddenly started discussing heavily about team maintenance and apparently it gets adopted ... i dont say dholbach imvented this model, i know there were ideas in debian about it before, but our annuncement triggered a wider change in mind in debian). ubuntu is known for good ideas and improvements that others adopt, lets stay this kind of innovator for the OSS world, lets not just copy off others models but improve the world with what we do where we can and if we cant, lets go on with the working models we already use. i'll now hide back in my hole i crawled out and stop with these pathetic outpourings :) ciao oli
