You're quite right. Ardo & I (with helpful input from Adam DiCarlo) have been 
working on the policy and the infrastructure packages for the last few months. 

I have the first policy draft complete, but due to the fact that I'm in the 
process of relocating and job-hunting (and am using someone else's floppy-free 
Mac to do webmail) I don't presently have the time or the means to check-in or 
upload any files.

Early next week Ardo & I should have both of our relative stuff ready and 
uploaded. At that time I'll post an announcement to debian-devel.

Cheers,
Mark
