Hi Joseph!

I set R-T and M-F-T to the pkg-fso-maint@ mailing list, read below.

NB, I do not know anything about gvSIG nor I have ever tried it.

This is a genuine question, not a personal attack: do you know that
Debian provides two pages on its wiki about the Openmoko?

  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
  http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO

On the pages above, you will discover that Debian decided to use the
smartphones-* mailing lists for general discussions (the website seems
to be down ATM):

  http://www.freesmartphone.org/

And that if you are interested in packaging software, we are happy to
help with all the necessary steps.  In this case, there is a specific
mailing list, *only for packaging issues*:

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-fso-maint

Thus, you can officially maintain gvSIG for Debian under the pkg-fso
umbrella.  This would actually be the best option, since the pkg-fso
team is already lacking manpower.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
