I would like to volunteer for processing installation reports, if it
does not require one to be an official DD. I don't have knowledge of
d-i internals, but from reading Joyes mail[1] back in January he has
written a tutorial for processing installation reports.
With help from the tutorial along with some d-i experience on both i386
and sparc, I should be able to process some of the more trivial
reports, I think. At least I'd like to give it a try.
Btw, do you have a new link to the tutorial since the old[2] one
mentioned in [1] seem dead.
