Fabulous!
Dirk suggested we have up to 3 email addresses:
-- "nearest email address" -- host physically closest to one's abode
-- "effective email address" -- where one likes to receive his mail
-- "project email address" -- a unique key, to help matching names
to packages (eliminates the multiple
email/name values in the Debian people list).
Other:
- I would rank myself near the bottom of the CGI and postgres
learning curve, so I couldn't do this very fast myself. I will soon
be using mSQL however, if that's any help.
+ I'd be happy to help in some other way.
Cheers,
Susan
