Indeed, but as said, i think it is important to do something such, and when i
received the survey a few days after having suggested we do such a thing, i
guess destiny wanted that i ask them about it.

Indeed, it was her which i had in mind originally, and which i urged Anthony
as DPL to contact. I was mostly ignored except one post saying "why don't you
contact them yourself". Do you know her contact info ? Would you like to ask
her what is possible or such ?

Because gnome is not debian ? Because of the personality of our current DPL and
the way he handles such things ? Because the current climate since a year or
more was very prompt to leading to flames and anger ? This kind of stuff
already started in the Vancouver days, and ties in strongly with the equality
among all DDs and the fact that some may feel themselves more important than
others, or take badly from orders comming from up the hierarchical scale.
