Yes, but parts of it might suffice (or as I said using me as a proxy for editing the tasks files if you just know that you should give a ping here). > Ok, thanks.

You should set a Homepage field in your control file.

DebTags reflect more features than just putting it into a certain workfield. The Debian Junior Blend did some experiments with mapping tasks and DebTags directly but there was not so much success. That's a long story. If you are interested (I mean really interested) you might bring this up on [email protected]. I'm constantly thinking about how we can connect DebTags and Blends better but have not yet found a really good solution. > I will have a look.

The doc on screenshots.debian.net is really short. ;-)) The very short answer is: You can upload as much as you want. Only one is directly shown at the tasks page and I would say a that the screenshot which is displayed at the tasks page is "randomly" choosen (which means I just pick one from a list and have no real control which one this is - probably the first uploaded but no guarantee). However, the user gets the information if there are more than one screenshots available. > > (Git or SVN at your preference, no bzr).

If anybody else thinks it should be in any further task, please rise your voice here.
