Re: Fonts in X [Off Topic]
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I know....
in fact xfstt is on the list of "Packages needing a new main tainer"
I know this list is not really the proper place for this but...
since it needs a new maintainer...I am wondering what is involved in that
I have been thinking for a while that I would like to pitch in
and help out...
ive looked over a few packages...and xfstt is a package I really like
im just still a little unsure of myself and my abilities
(supose its a self confidence issue)...
this doesn't seem like a very hard package to keep up with
and work on...
anyon ehave any thoughts on whether this one is good for a
"first package" to get ones feet wet?
I really like this package and I think what it does is GREAT
(it makes Netscape and other programs look so much better)
ive been toying with the idea of this package and that it is "needing a
new maintainer" for a few weeks now
(I know I should probably look into the "Debian-mentors" list
if I am considering volunteering but...between debian-devel and
debian-user and BUGTRAQ....I have trouble keepin up with the
nearly 300-500 e-maisl a day
