New Maintainer Required for ...



Hi,

 due to an increasing lack of free time, plus me moving to Germany in
 the next couple of months (where I have no idea if I'll be able to
 keep working with debian at all, neither as a maintainer nor as a
 user), the following packages need a new maintainer ASAP (source
 packages):

 fltk: be prepared to deal with Windows-related-problems.  Doesn't get
 updated too often nowadays -- waiting for fltk 2 to enter beta.
 
 gltt, moonlight: you better like 3d modelling if you want to take
 these ones -- you are going to have a great time, upstream is very
 friendly and helpful.  This doesn't get updated too often.

 mixer.app
 wmaker-data
 wmaker-usersguide
 wmavgload
 wmload
 wmmail
 wmmixer
 wmmount
 wmrack
 wsoundprefs, wsoundserver

 some of these packages have old standing bugs, some wishlist.

 Additionally, if you have interest in the following packages, take a
 look at the source and bugs first.  I'd like someone to NMU this for
 a while before giving them away if at all (read, I want to keep
 working on them, but it will take a couple of months before I know
 what exactly my situation will be in Germany regarding Debian)

 asclock: working on a new release

 libproplist: non-maintained upstream, AFAIK.  Needed for wmaker and
 friends.

 login.app: it's in alpha right now, there's a (experimental) package
 waiting in Incoming.  There's an stable version in slink and potato.

 panorama: I'm working on this one, I'm interested in developing
 parallel rendering support using MPI.  This one has a lot of future,
 it's a GNU package, really nice.  Upstream is from Spain, in case any
 Spanish developers are interested, it's possible you live close to
 Angel.

 wmaker: a source nightmare waiting to be solved.  Upstream is _very_
 cooperative, but a bit hard headed at times (and upstream likes
 Debian -- doesn't use it, but likes it)

 Thanks in advance.

 Regretfully,


 Marcelo
