Russ would like to try that as an experiment, possibly to be extended in the future to other sub-policies. As a (very reasonable!) requirement, Bill would like to have someone actually maintaining the policy, rather than just dumping it onto -policy maintainers. Given that Martin and Antonio would actually want to *extend* dep-8, that doesn't seem to be a problem; I'm also available myself to help with editorial stuff. Martin (and myself) would prefer using markdown for maintaining the spec in the future; Russ is fine with that too, and would like to use similar "light" markups in the future for other sub-policies; Bill would prefer docbook, but that doesn't seem to be a strong objection (please correct me if I'm wrong). To make things easier for the actual dep-8 authors/maintainers, I'd therefore like to settle on markdown. Bottom line: next action is for Zack, to 1/ integrate current status of dep-8 into debian-policy (and send it as a patch to -policy); 2/ mark dep-8 as accepted, freeze it, and point to the -policy repo for further updates. I'll be intermittently on VAC/work in the next few weeks, but I'll complete this during DebConf14 the latest. Thanks for your help thus far!
