Re: Debian User's Manual
This is a response to a private message, but since it's on a public
subject I am forwarding it to the list:

I don't know what is going on. I contributed a chapter of the user
manual last year, but that has never been put on the website; in the
circumstances, it seems a bit of a waste of time. Havoc Pennington
also wrote a chapter and is doing a lot of work on a Tutorial, which isn't
even mentioned on the DDP page.
To the list as a whole: this project currently appears to be stuck fast.
The DDP homepage still refers to Christian Schwarz, who has unfortunately
left the project, and the content as a whole doesn't seem to have changed
in a year. If contributions are not incorporated, there are not
going to be any more contributions; I certainly won't spend time writing
stuff that no-one will read.
What is going on??????@!#$%?
