Willing to assist

["T.J. Duchene" <linuxman@worldwebcafe.com>]

Well, it is a shame to see Adrian go.   I use some of his kernel 2.4 
packages.  I'd like to help if someone will guide me through the process of 
joining Debian.  If I'm going to elaborate on Debian being behind, I'd like 
to be constructive, and help in some way.

I understand his dilemma, though.  I've had to compile/install many a program 
to update Debian 2.2 since its release: gtk, glibc, and the entire X system 
to name a few. 

To be honest, the distribution is dated, and showing its age.  Many of the 
packages on the ftp server in potato/lib are literally 2 years old.  I think 
it would be better to concentrate on getting woody ready than doing five 2.2 
revisions.

When is woody due for release, and what can I do to help?  Is it in code 
freeze, as I did not see the binaries on the server this morning in 
unstable/main/binary-i386?

Thanks,

T.J. Duchene
