It would be super nice to have this packaged in Debian, as there are Massive
Online Courses that will use this tool for (of course) educational purposes:
https://www.coursera.org/course/sna
I wonder if, somehow, changing to team-maintenance wouldn't be better for
the package overall? Perhaps the highly skilled people that already package
Java things for Debian may be interested in this? I'm CCing them.
Otherwise, changing the status from ITP to RFP would free people to work on
it instead of the "deadlock" here. After all, the original bug was filed on
"1 Dec 2011" which will soon complete 2 years! (I almost did this without
asking for other people's opinions).
I would be superb to have this submitted to the archives in time for the
beginning of the course.
Regards,
