RFS: qxw



Dear mentors and games developers,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "qxw".

 * Package name    : qxw
   Version         : 20110826-1
   Upstream Author : Mark Owen <debian@quinapalus.com>
 * URL             : http://www.quinapalus.com/qxw.html
 * License         : GPL 2
   Section         : games

It builds this binary package:

qxw   - advanced interactive crossword construction tool

Qxw is a program to help you create and publish crosswords, from the
simplest blocked grid to sophisticated thematic puzzles. It can make
rectangular-, hexagonal- or circular-format grids with blocks, bars or
both. It has an automatic grid-filling facility that can handle a wide
range of answer treatments and you can even add your own answer treatment
methods. Grids can be filled using letters, digits, or a mixture of
both. Qxw can produce output in a range of formats ready for publication.

A full PDF manual is available, linked from the page
http://www.quinapalus.com/qxw.html .

Qxw is written in C and has a GUI based on GTK+.

I have not been able to find any similar programs to this already in
Debian. My main motivation for packaging it and subsequently maintaining
the package is that as the upstream author I am keen to see the program
used as widely as possible; I also hope that it will help bring more
users to Debian and its derived distributions.

Any suggestions and feedback regarding the package are welcome - in
particular, whether you feel `games' is the right section for it.

The package appears to pass all lintian checks.

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

Alternatively, download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qxw/qxw_20110826-1.dsc

I would be grateful if someone could upload this package for me.

Kind regards,

Mark Owen.
