Hi, the alternative would be a system where each individual would have to log in to access a page that contained only their exchanges. With the possible exception of a superuser like soc-ctte-user and leader. So this would be a closed system. One of only a few in Debian. There is also the possible inclusion of anti-search engine tags so that the pages would not be searched by compliant spiders. hmm. I did google "debian sven luther behavior" and found a few choice bits including an issue of linux-magazine [0] which hilights Sven and the social issues of Debian in 2006. "debian sven luther removal" also has hits. The info is there and the differnce is the ease in getting it. I'd also really like to believe that a tech company would examine the technical excellance of a candidate and their positve respective contributions to any volunteer effort including Debian. cheers, K [0] https://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/68/Free_Software_Projects.pdf -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org |
