Brian, Thanks for that. It doesn't explain how you get the package list from the URL, and apply the formatting. In addition, the "edit" mode doesn't tell the new user how Lee populated the "licence" column (by hand or some other clever way that I haven't thought of).
What I'm saying is that only a small portion of the packages that need to be checked, are being checked, and that doesn't include UNIVERSE. If we want to get new volunteers on-board, we need to make joining as welcome and hassle-free as possible. The other option would be for the existing Package Freedom Verifiers to take on the non-owned packages, but this could create a lot of work. IN SUMMARY: I don't think gNS will have a problem getting volunteers, as time goes on, but let's help them out. Hope this is constructive (it's meant to be). Cheers, Chris.
