Policy and Procedures
---------------------

Taylor agrees with the Social Contract and the DFSG. With the exchange
of a few emails, he demonstrated to me that he understands the
principles and extent of these documents. He also demonstrated
awareness of the responsibilities of a debian maintainer. I asked him
some questions about licensing of particular packages which he
answered to my satisfaction. We also discussed the BTS, and policy and
packaging docs.

Policy and Procedures Check Passed

Tasks and Skills
----------------

Taylor has already made several debian packages: bidwatcher (eBay
tool), the Zen web browser (nocrew.org), wmcb.app. I checked through
some of his packages. While a couple were not lintian clean initially,
he did iterate on it and produced new packages that were to my
satisfaction. He is also interested in packaging openphone (and the
"answering machine") from openh323.org. He also mentioned that he was
interested in the deity project. I think he will make a good addition
to the debian developer community.
