There have been some new subdomains created as easier forms of communication wrt debian (some unofficial and some not) like times.debian.net and release.debian.org. Would it be useful or desired to create a central location, as opposed to doing 'site:debian.org position statement' in google, to view these official positions that Debian has issued, possibly for media consumption and for others looking to know Debians position on popularly discussed issues? Not including say the social contract page or people.debian.org entries that some folks like yourself have. -- | .''`. == 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 |
