Re: Adding ispell and wordlist policy reference in developers corner

One thing I'd also explain is that Javier is asking (and I support this)
that you put the canonical source of the dict/spell policy on the Debian CVS
server. This doesn't mean modifying a makefile to copy both on SF and in
the Debian web site, it means basing yourself on this CVS tree.
I was just to ask about this. The problem is that there is no
independent canonical source for the policy document, since it is part
of the sources of the dictionaries-common package and is generated from
it and included in the dictionaries-common-dev package.
When the project started, debian cvs was not as is now, and that made
people choose sourceforge. I am aware that for consistency reasons, at
some time we should migrate the project to the debian cvs, mainly now
that the policy is official, but I think it is still too early, since we
still maintain there some apt-getable woody new policy stuff, even mixed
with the very last experimental things. I would prefer doing that
migration after the new policy has been implemented in a stable release
so there are lower needs.
Arguably, SF provides nicer facilities for maintaining stuff. However, we do
have CVS access via CVS and HTTP, and the people listed as authors are all
developers so they already have access.
But there are other people in the project that are still not DD,
although they are no policy authors. We should also migrate mailing
lists and really not many things more. We do not use neither the sf
release facilities nor their bug tracking mechanism, but we would need
some space with group write permission, so any of us can update the apt
repository. No need for additional release mechanisms, since we maintain
the apt-get'able repository through a script we wrote for that through
an ssh connection.
Cheers,
Javi, should I keep on cc'ing you?
