Howdy, maxzor, on 2022-01-04: […] > As for resources, Etienne is in a better place to give you hints at Debian > documentation (debian policy, debian developer's guide, packaging > tooling...), Well, if there is an entry point that gathers all important resources for prospective contributors, that would be the web page describing how to join the project [1] (references to the policy manual [2] and developer's reference [3] manuals are linked at the bottom of the page). I merely pointed to specifics for the rocm-team yesterday [4].

My understanding of the situation and of the way the Debian project has been working since its infancy, the slicing of the different components of the operating system in packages more or less equates to project tasks, which could be affected to different people. Of course not all packages are equal in size and complexity. I /think/ the work remained sequential partly because of the interleaving between the different rocm packages, which may make the packaging effort a bit delicate to approach from several fronts at once. > Is Trello acceptable?

Not sure this has been battle tested to day, but that would be a resource under Debian umbrella at least. In any case, Thanks for having taken the time to sort the different issues at play!
