[ I am not subscribed to debian-vote, please cc me on responses. ] Raphaël,
I really like your ideas for DPL, and I encourage you to see them thru even if you are not elected. Some comments: I think that having a SourceForge style site is great, but I'm not sure that using the SourceForge code is the best way to go. This wasn't so clear in your platform. (1.1) I'd like to contribute something back to the Debian community (even though I am not yet an official Debian Developer) and some of your projects do not sound very difficult. I'd be willing to write a program to contact MIA maintainers, although I do not know what "echelon's information" is. If you'd like to get back to me with more information on this, I'd be happy to help out. (1.2) I believe that to better recruit people for adopting packages, we should keep track of the skills needed for maintaining each package. For example, I've had experience in Python programming, so I'd be willing to pick up a few packages written in Python. I believe this will make it easier for prospective maintainers who don't want to wade thru the whole list. (1.3) I really like idea of an activity.debian.org, and would be willing to help build parts of it. I think that if RSS feeds (an XML language for news items) could be generated by the various information sources, building an integrated should be easy. (1.8) All the best, -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
