In general i'm sure Stéphane will do a great job sponsoring (which in most of the cases means, guarantee that the packages i will deliver have the required quality), but on the other hand i think this whole TU group "should" support newly accepted TU's in learning and improving their skills. Sponsored by this whole ArchLinux community i would like to help improve the overall ArchLinux experience. thx -- Ike
