Re: Debian Project News - March 28th, 2011
Hi Daniel,
thanks for the suggestion. Work on the Debian Project News is
coordinated on the debian-publicity, so I move your suggestion there.
Please note however, that at least the debtags idea might prove
impossible to implement. I checked some random packages from the list
and none had any debtags, yet. I currently don't know when and how they
are set.
Best regards,
Alexander
