To clarify, the exception was granted regardless of whether it's destined for main. > I was approached by HOU "freeflying" Zhengpeng (cc:ed him) early in the > dapper development period about the main inclusion of SCIM related > packages.

This is very interesting; I did not realize that you were reluctant to support scim's inclusion in main. It seems essential that we get to that point in order to allow for proper localization "out of the box" for many large communities in Asia, as SCIM seems to be the first-class choice for this infrastructure. It does seem clear that we need for there to be someone in the Ubuntu community who is familiar with the code base and motivated to ensure that it meets the quality standards for main, in order to succeed in this goal. -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
