-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Manoj,
I'm thinking it'd make good sense to make some sort of official policy document, with associated author group, to compose a new Debian policy for packaging, implementation, etc., of XML, SGML, and related stuff. Although Adam DiCarlo & I started something about a year ago[1] in an effort to develop an LSB-compliant implementation, the document isn't finished. Nor can it be, since parts of the current LSB-XML/SGML draft spec are either unimplementable, or unfinished. I haven't a clue how to make this happen, which is why I'm writing you. Furthermore, it's looking likely that the LSB-XML/SGML project will re-form as a FreeStandards Working Group, and that I will serve as Director of the project. (Startup in a month or so.) So, this time around Debian will definitely be in the loop on the spec development - which was not really the case in the previous round. Ardo also suggested that we develop some group package management system, with the maintainer being some alias like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and add maintainers to the list who can upload on behalf of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Let know your thoughts on these issues. It'd be a good idea to start getting this structure into place.
