I'm sorry if I haven't been involved much in this discussion. I had to take over maintenance of the installation system last August and time has been a pretty scarce commodity since then.
Anyhow, from my very very brief glance over the materials presented it, it seems pretty straight-forward to implement this standard on Debian. Unfortunately, speaking for myself personally, and I manage a ton of the involved packages (sgml-data, sp, jade, opensp, openjade, docbook-stylesheets, docbook-xml, sgml-tools, among others), I find I do not have time to implement this in a reasonable time-frame. The tricky bit is going to be the in-place upgrading of the system. Most of that will be handled by sgml-base, which I am not the maintainer for, but I happen to know the maintain of sgml-base, Manoj, is pretty short on time as well. I'm looking for volunteers. The following are list of possible duties taken by any such volunteer, in decreasing order of responsibility: - take over some of my Debian packages (or sgml-base is also up for grabs, last I talked to Manoj) - supply patches to the Debian bug-tracking system to bring the system into compliance; alternatively, I may be able to provide CVS access to my sources - analyze what much be changed in the Debian packages, based on comparing the current system to the standard, and putting that in a as a bug in the bug tracking system -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
