The RFS wasn't sufficiently interesting. http://people.debian.org/~codehelp/#lang Tell sponsors why they should care about the package - your initial RFS was bare, incomplete and just plain uninteresting. "Your message to -mentors is like an ad for your package. It's likely to be the only thing that prospective sponsors will judge your package on. You can have all the extra URLs you like in there where sponsors can get more information, but unless your initial message piques their interest, they'll never look at them. So, tell us what exactly your package does, and why it should be in Debian. If there is already a program that does a similar thing, say why your one is better. Put a little "hot spice" in there to hold people's interest. in other words, think like an advertising executive. Just remember to wash the slime off afterward." http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html I'm not likely to sponsor your package, just explaining why I didn't bother even thinking about reviewing it at the time. Seemed like a waste of my time, based solely on the RFS. Sponsors are not automatons waiting for new additions to the queue, there are other more interesting things to be doing and your RFS needs to persuade sponsors to put the upload higher in their personal priority list(s). -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
