Could you give us a (smallish) 'resumé' of the difference between CVS and subversion ? I am aware of some, but maybe not everyone is. > > In general, I like the idea of co-maintainership.

But also multiple people who can work on the packages. The idea is that this would mean that the project could provide a natural framework for sponsoring non-debian developers, a bit like the controversial debian-mentor project, and a bit more, since it would be a shared stuff. Maybe even some upstreams will help a bit if needed and such. In the lond run, this could even become some sort of generalized ocaml archive, like some are asking on the caml list, but i don't think this is our goal. Friendly, Sven Luther
