Ack, on the time aspect. btw, #debian-med was not empty, there was a bot "CIA-number" :) I was told IRC is the place to ask questions and interact but apparently different projects within Debian function differently. So Debian-med usually interacts via m.lists only? or is there an irc channel one can ask packaging questions too? > I have no idea what you mean with "unlogged" channel - I'm rathe > an IRC newbee. well, #debian-women does not allow bots or public logging of chat sessions but I noticed #debian-mentors has a bot (Mentor-Seekers) to announce sponsor requests.

Yes, it was confusing. I shall use debian-med.alioth.debian.org henceforth but I am curious about the links leading to external websites which didnt have much information on the interaction with Debian. For example : Some projects host their code and are listed in SF, but how does debian obtain software from say, drugref.org or other companies listed on the debian page? > Questions are always fine and I decided to answer tham publicly to > enable other newcomers reading the answers as well.

Sure, I can help but I dont have access to make changes here : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/ I have a wiki account and can help (will do it slowly so that I dont make too many changes which may upset others).
