Bas, I've looked at this page and had a brief discussion with Bastian on it. I'm somewhat of a noob to Linux and really green on the development side so my question was. How do I know if any of these packages listed on this page are even still in use? Many of the bug reports for a lot of these packages are well over a year old. Also, I need to start on some that are a little smaller to align with my current skills (or lack thereof) to get started. Any suggestions?

There is already such a script, see http://qa.debian.org/man-pages.html -- Kind regards, +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | |----------------------------| Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
