To follow up on this; I have created [1] to keep track of Goals for
Wheezy and who is the driver/coordinator behind them. For now a lot of
them has "possible X?"; I did this when I was not certain if the
particular person/people were ready to commit themselves to it (or when
I was not sure who is doing the task etc.).
If you are not prepared to do it right now, feel free to unassign
yourself and then take it later when time permits (assuming no one else
took it of course).
Feel free to update this page as needed; I did not write down all the
goals I found - turns out we have a lot of these, which is great. Of
course it is best if we can finish them as well. ;)
Matthew, I have marked the two of us as (possible) drivers behind Java
Library Transitions and jarwrapper on kfreebsd!
Ludovic, I am also interested in the OSGi repository and would like to
be co-driver on this. But if you prefer we can stall it till after the
maven repository etc.
If there is something you believe is sufficiently important, perhaps we
can try to make it an official release goal of Wheezy.
