[Debconf-team] And regarding the Penta replacement



I guess you've pretty much decided on Frab? I side with Mario on the fork issue, I'd rather not fork at all, and work with the original author, but if we have to, why increase the cardinality of the fork set? There should be a strong reason to do that, which I haven't read.

I'm more of a python coder myself, and I find python code prettier than Ruby, but more importantly, has anyone aquainted themselves with the codebases and feature sets of both Frab and Zookeeper? I think the proyect should be chosen according to how suitable the codebase is to us now, though having developers available and willing, such as Mario is another important criterion. Has anyone talked to the Zookeeper devs?

Anyway, these days I rarely promise to do things, but I am quite interested in participating as well.

Cheers from Naschmarkt in Vienna!

right, cccongress needs the penta import as they rely on speakers ratings as
other things...

the database schema is the same?

likewiese.

that's common saying of almost all programmers :)

sounds like a plan.
