Actually, both. If people in Mandrake Club request RPMs that are not currently packaged anywhere, a volunteer is supposed to package for Mandrake Club, have the requester/voters test it, and once he has some feedback, make it available for others, both via the "free" section (which goes to mandrake-devel mirrors) and hopefully to cooker contrib also(if applicable). > > I feel this is counter-intuitive, error-prone, and duplicated effort.

I think Austin, Danny's and my packages are all in, plus Austin and I did most of thac's stuff. I will take a look at the list now. Porting to cooker has been mentioned on the club-volunteers list, but none of those with packages not in cooker replied.
