I humbly suggest a fourth: I disagree, though I have answered them all the same. I think there are more important issues than who maintains what and how popular their packages are, what kinds of bugs, etc. > 4. On which occassion, and how, have you helped the Debian > project achieve a higher technical standard ? I must admit I am not certain how to answer this. Could you define the scope a little? I've worked a bit with others in discussions on policy and I've tried to make my own packages follow policy as much as possible. I've also tried to work with those proposing changes to Debian beyond changes within their own packages (archive changes, transition to FHS, configuration management, that sort of thing) move from idea stage to planning stages, being careful to make sure the changes proposed are for the best. I haven't been in much of a position to help the implementation of these things yet for the most part, but I have helped where I can. Usually the best place I've been able to help is with considering long term repercussions of implementation. > Linux is not only free; it is, arguably, a better operating system, offering > a degree of stability and an ability to scale up that NT cannot match. > -- The Economist, Oct 3, 1998 Is this not why we're all here? -- "You're despicable." -- Daffy Duck
