What's wrong with > open rfp? We have currently over 100 open RFPs. If I find the time to complete it I'd e.g. like to send a list of open RFPs to debian-devel - and I don't want that the RFPs for programs that should be packaged to be hidden behind such RFPs like this one. I'd really like to close this RFP. cu Adrian -- Get my GPG key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | gpg --import Fingerprint: B29C E71E FE19 6755 5C8A 84D4 99FC EA98 4F12 B400
