Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

I work on a package since 82 days but on wnpp page I can see '201 days in
preparation'.

I talk about this package. [1]

How I get 82 ?
* ITP of the package was annonced on 'Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:12:05 GMT'
* Today it's Fri, 19 Nov 2010
=> difference is 2 month and 21 days

So I think this package is 'in preparation' since 82 days not 201 days.

Best regards,

Thomas PIERSON

Sure, the main goal is to have the ability to spot if WNPP are being
worked on. If the bug has been reported yesterday, and someone updated
it today, we can claim without hurting anyone (in a page that claims to
be updated daily) that it is worked on since yesterday without further
notice. The interesting part is to be able to spot that someone did
update a bug report two weeks ago, even if the bug has initially been
reported five years ago.

;-). "tomorrow"? is not part of the usable strings, and people took care
before me to provide a reliable way to count those days, I didn't
reinvent the wheel here.

Indeed better, thanks
