And that's great! Do not see it as a rejection: Yes, you were not deemed ready to become part of Debian back then. Maybe you would now - But being part of Debian is not just uploading packages... A couple of years ago we didn't have DM (which, although is often criticized, _does_ solve problems such as this one). Being a DD requires more involvement and idetification with the project than "wanting to directly upload software". So, nothing bad in being happy with being "just" a DM. It is a great contribution! (And yes, I do think we should try and get more profiles besides DM and DD, for different sets of tasks) Greetings, -- Gunnar Wolf - [email protected] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
