Yes, a different discussion, but I really think that Debian is in need, or it will be sooner or later, of a more wide spectrum of skills than coding, and being Debian a kind of horizontal organization, everyone should enjoy the same rights. Particularly there exist people who make a leaving organizing people from different cultures efficiently around very big projects. My sister is an anthropologist who does just that for a big transnational company. I guess it must exist people with this kind of skills willing and eager to colaborate with Debian, providing that they are treated with fairness. -- Blu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
