There are one or two others who have already signed up for this package: Sami Haahtinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Jens Ritter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Sami is still in the new-maintainer procedure and has told us that he spoke to the 'already registered maintainer'. I believe he refers to Grimaldi, if not, Grimaldi speak up now. :-) Sami gave us http://www.x11amp.ml.org/ as website for x11amp. I haven't checked if it's the same as above.
