Thanks for your attention. it met Scott Howard online as his sponsor for sandboxgamemaker, and did I also do eagle once? Scott has invested a considerable time, both for the Debian packaging, and for communicating the challenges of a Linux distribution like Debian to the upstream maintainers of sandboxgamemaker, for whom it was not straight-forward to separate their own (free) work from their community contributions (usable, but non-DFSG compliant). This separation has now been implemented and thus, we have sandboxgamemaker with us. The next upload will feature Scot's downloader for the sandboxgamemaker data files, to be invoked manually by whoever is interested. I don't even want to talk about the technical bits. The package is large, Scott used more than the bare essentials for the packaging, and his package was lintian-clean from second 1. What I want to stress more is how well he "listens" to emails, how constructive and quick his reactions are, and how patient he was (and is) with me as his sponsor. It felt and feels always good to communicate with him, which certainly also contributed to his success with upstream in the first place. Please accept him as a DM, hoping Scott to aim for more. Steffen
