I was reading http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Policy, and saw the h2 'Get
involved'. The second li [1] piqued my interest. Thus, I've several
questions for -policy@:
1. What kind of time and connectivity commitments would be expected in
regard to this endeavor should I decide to take it on? I ask, as I
don't have full-time connectivity, although it is on a fairly regular
basis.
2. From my reading of [1], not much technical skill is needed, other
than being able to read well the current Policy and being able to
interact effectively with BTS. Is this correct?
In summary I'm looking for pointers on getting started with this
project. I _do_ have some other questions for the list, but I feel those
would be best saved until I see whether my situation meshes well with my
intent to help Debian in this regard.
[1] Policy contains several appendices which are really
documentation of how parts of the dpkg system works
rather than technical Policy. Those appendices should be
removed from the Policy document and maintained
elsewhere, probably as part of dpkg, and any Policy
statements in them moved into the main document. This
project will require reviewing the current contents of
the appendices and feeding the useful bits that aren't
currently documented back to the dpkg team as
documentation patches.
