Merging forces with Utnubu (was: Re: [RFC] DEX - merging patches from derivatives into Debian)



Hello everybody,
mail CCed to the Utnubu mailing list, where some people were interested in
reviving the project.

Reducing the delta was *exactly* the goal of the Utnubu project.
Given that both of us seem to lack manpower, I'd suggest I shut the Utnubu
project down, redirecting people to DEX/Ubuntu.

I had started something already:

  http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/missing/

Which I believe would be one possible goal for the DEX/Ubuntu team (those
pages make queries to UDD, I'll check DEX's infrastructure on how to replicate
that).

In the meanwhile, I'm adding myself to the list of participants :)

Kindly,
David
