Re: Active policy editor (was: Re: DebCamp sprint?)
Hi Andreas,
First, thanks for starting this thread and for caring so much
about Policy. :)

That's an excellent and considerate point…

Alas, delegating, etc. is the easy part. In terms of recruiting, have you considered:
* Emailing the debian-devel-announce list along the lines of "The
Debian Policy team needs your help"? A generous description of
a) the responsibilites, b) an encouragement that it's not a
"scary" part of Debian, and c) clear & actionable steps if someone
is tempted, would be essential here IMHO.
* Reaching out to specific people you might think have the right
temperament for the role? There might be some crossover with
-ctte. They don't specifically need to be DDs (yet) and, indeed,
this could be a great way to get someone started along those
lines.
These are not mutually exclusive of course. In fact, I was just about
to email a couple of folks but if we had such a post to d-d-a I
could underline and add some weight to request by linking to it
with my message.
Thoughts?
> I'm sure he'll be happy to sponsor a sprint if needed
*Absolutely*. He'll help arrange it too, we just need to find the
people.
