Currently, proposals for new packages to be added to universe are maintained here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates This seems to work reasonably well, but has the usual limitations of storing structured data in a wiki. Also, we receive a steady flow of such requests via Malone, and moving data between these systems is inconvenient. Therefore, I would like to ask your opinions about maintaining this list in Malone instead. - With Launchpad teams, it would be possible for interested developers to be notified of requests for new packages, to see if it's something they would be interested in packaging. Consider a "MOTU new packages" team or similar. - The status of each package could be tracked using the usual Malone mechanisms, and interested parties could subscribe to be notified when the status changes - The queue could be prioritized using Malone metadata Thoughts? -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
