Seconded, if someone (DD) want to pack it, and what about ITPing
debian-devel-ml-Anarchism-flamewar ?
What is no related with Anarchism ? Software is no related with
anarchism?
The package are on Debian repository and on web, provide a script
mirror Anarchism, Comunist Manifesto, Costitution (American, French,
Italian, and all), bibble .... and upload it on a user directory (say,
~/public_html/documents)
Put a package called "gmwiwtg" (give me what I want to get) that do all is
needed, and the debian world will live on peace (without flame war).
Was all that hard to propose ?
Choice a better name for package, write a nice interface, ... all is
Debian related
(sorry for not cheat all country's Costituition, don't flame me)
