Excellent work Matt! A few suggestions: 0) In the "General questions" section, you should mention the #debian-mentors IRC channel. I know there aren't alot of ppl there, but at times I have found it to be quite handy. 1) In the "process of becoming a DD" section, the last step should link to the NM corner <http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint>. 2) In the section "How do I make my first package", a link to the new maintainers guide would be useful [eg. 0. Read the New Maintainers' Guide available at http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ or in the package maint-guide. ] 3) Same section, step 3 should mention that the package should conform to the latest policy (with a link to the Debian Policy Manual <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>). 4) Same section, there should be a step 3.5 which says something like: "Upload the source package to machine for public review, mentors.debian.net provides a service that is useful for this purpose". 5) In the "Where else can I get a sponsor" section (perhaps having some sort of numbering would help ;-), I would suggest adding the IRC channels #debian-mentors and #debian-devel. Thanks again!
