I do too, that's not what I was pointing. My perception is that Debian is lacking manpower in several areas, and that the organization is not being able to cope with its own size and grow rate. > And if the process discourages people, who really do not want to > learn what is in the Policy and other things, they have to know as > DD: Who cares? Would Debian be better, if those people could become a > DD easier? I agree, but again that was not the point. I was talking about people who is willing to learn whatever is necessary to be part of the project, but find themselves entangled in a long and burocratic process to be accepted. Note that I'm not saying that the process -is- that bad, it is only my perception as an outsider who try to be informed about what is going on. -- Blu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
