His website still shows "Debian Multimedia" in the header of all pages. Those need to be updated. Also, his website has no disclaimer (that I've seen) which states the site is not a part of or is affiliated with Debian. I know it wasn't explicitly mentioned before that he should post a disclaimer but, he should post a disclaimer on the front of his page and in his FAQ. Also, his donate page only says "You can donate by using paypal in Euro/€. <PayPal logo> or directly to my bank account. <account numbers> In any case, thanks in advance." This is horrible IMO. This is practically the same kind of message sent via the spam I get every single day. How about showing a little appreciation when asking for contributions? This would work better "Please consider offering a donation to help me cover the cost of maintaining this website/service. Your contributions are welcome. <instructions on how to donate/who to contact/etc.>" And of course, his donate page definitely needs to be clear where/who the donations are going to (i.e. it needs a disclaimer making clear none of the donations go to Debian). -- ~ Andres _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
