I'd volunteer for that since I already did some of the work and have patches ready. I wonder what is the best way to handle it: File bugs or apply the patches to the VCS? Most of the packages do not have Vcs-* fields set, so I could fix that while at it. I also prepared watch fiels for some of the packages that lacked some but did not look into all of them.

I also prepared watch fiels for some of the packages that lacked some but did not look into all of them. I think a reasonable way to start is to ask the maintainer of the package whether he is interested in group maintenance or not. Advise to use the Debian Science Vcs (in case the package in question is not just in Vcs) even if group maintenance is not prefered - this keeps things in our radar. This contact (accompanied by patches) might be more friendly and convincing than an anonymous bug report. If the mail remains unanswered I would use the BTS and depending from the general status of the package (I learned that several of these candidates are way outdated and not maintained) just push it to group maintenance in our BTS. For instance I did so with texmaker. I learned that the e-mail address which was stated in the control file information bounced - so what else than taking over the package would be reasonable? I guess we will find more such packages. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Learn to use 'apt-cache search' -- there must be at least a hundred packages in Debian for what you describe, from note taking to mind mappming to personal wikis. Don't abuse debian-science because you think of yourself as a scientist. I don't agree that this constitutes abuse of debian-science. This list is for discussion of tools for scientific development, and a couple of long threads have dealt with typesetting tools suited for science. If typesetting is on-topic, why not data management? That said, I'll echo the recommendation to use apt-cache search. The OP should consider one of the many systems (beagle, tracker, namazu, ...) to maintain an index of a filestore. Many will attempt to extract terms from document formats (.tex. pdf, .doc, html, etc). Also, agrep is designed to improve on grep for searching text stores. -- George N.
