IMHO RFP tends to be unsuccessful in most cases. DDs are these days busy
to work out their won ITPs and regard RFP as quite low priority. So I
use the chance to repeat my advertising of mentioning potentially interesting
software as prospective package of our CDD in the tasks files. I just added
geonext (the second ouf your project names - you forgot the links BTW), because
I just added geogebra in former times.
You can see how this can be done at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu/tasks/mathematics?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
ans I urge everybody to do so as well if somebody detects an interesting
project. In case you are hesitant to fiddle around with SVN I would
volunteer to edit the tasks files if you provide snippets containing the
relevant information like
Homepage:
License:
Pkg-Description:
and perhaps
WNPP:
Pkg-URL:
This would enable us to have a common source of information for interesting
packages and a nice overview as you can see at
http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/edu/tasks/mathematics.php
in this case.
I think, Gambas has a feature to build Debian packages right from the
current project. Wouldn't it be neat to have a Java IDE that has such
button?
I don't know about Gambas, but I prefer solid manual packaging over
automatic means. Just try to keep on gathering interesting projects and
than chery pick the best ones on a developer gathering for packaging or
something like this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
