I did discussed at Debian Med mailing list and besides other mails (also in PM) this one[1] expresses the same strong agreement as I do. As you might possibly know the Debian Med project as one of the Blends inside Debian maintains some so called tasks which are kind of categorising the applications. The tasks page[2] provides an overview about current categories we are maintaining. Your package is somehow "end user" oriented (not for practicioners or researchers) and the only task which is currently featuring such things is "tools" (which is some kind of "something else" currently). I'm not perfectly comfortable by putting Sitplus into this category. While Eric in his posting[1] suggested a new category "accessibility" I'm not really sure that this is not missleading because in terms of computer usage we are trying to make programs more accessible for people with some handicap when using the term "accessibility". I personally would rather tend to a category "therapy" which might fit better into the medical context and also might find some other applications which fit in later. What's your opinion about such a categorisation out of the options {tools, accessibility, therapy}. Finally as the packager we would defintely consider your vote as expert. > I would be > pleased with maintaining it in the Debian Med team. So you might like to read the team policy[3] which in your case boils down to something like: 1. Subscribe to the Debian-Med alioth project (or tell me your Alioth login - I did not found your name in the list of Alioth users) - this enables commit permission to the VCSes we use in Debian Med 2. Decide either for Git or SVN and commit your packaging stuff for Sitplus 3. Ping the mailing list debian-...@lists.debian.org for sponsoring. Subscribing this list makes sense regarding the maintenance of the package itself as well as possibly getting some other packages which you might be interested in. Kind regards Andreas.
