You're right, in fact I thought we could use just one user (so it would have replaced debian-science@lists.debian.org), now I agree with you. > I just learned that RFPs are most promising if you try to reach people > who have a direct interest in the topic of the package.

Yeah, I'm been doing this with a few RFPs, this is a best practise for me. Of course there are two problems: 1) Many interested persons aren't subscribed to (all) the relevant mailing lists (think of new maintainers, and so on). 2) Sometimes there's no really relevant place! Anyway those problems don't change so much items we're discussing about. :) > > I'm not sure the latter couldn't be the case. For instance, I might help > > with tags, when I'm not really too busy.

It is indeed (together with set lists of tags, perhaps policies, etc.). There's just a difference between people each tagging their own bugs and me tagging those left untagged by others. :-) > > Until now, I've been adding software to DebianScience* wiki pages, like > > Charles often did. > > If I understood Charles right he just used the Wiki because it was > much easier to keep up to date than the wml in Debian web CVS.

Alright. So we maybe should let external contributors put data on the wiki and then remove them once they have been added to tasks. Including a disclaimer about this in the wiki pages would be really useful! and I can do it myself. > Well, checking WNPP for ITPs/RFPs that are relevant for debian-science > sounds simple and at least forewarding this to the list is easy.
