All probably a very good idea but although I have been inactive in
the pkg-perl group I would like to continue to lurk at the moment.
I have a guest account on alioth and would prefer that not to be deleted
in it's entirety because I am also in Debian-Women.
This is possibly hijacking the thread for my own purposes but maybe
I can find someone who needs a bit of help with something?
I currently run Debian stable on a Dell M65 but would be prepared to
re-con to load at least testing toward this purpose. I wary of running
unstable on a machine I rely on. So probably a little bit of advice on what
I would and wouldn't be able to achieve under testing?
