You aren't the first to see a potential problem with the current equation of DD'ship with Debian project membership. It's hard to predict whether this will ever change. If you think that it should change then nothing is stopping you from making the suggestion here. It's up to the members to decide whether they want to implement such change, though. (It's a bit of a catch-22, since existing members are less likely to see the exclusivity of Debian as a problem. However, you always have the option of participating in some other project, such as Ubuntu, which does recognize contributions other than package maintenance.) -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
