We need several things to make it happen : - a new machine because all our machines are already quite heavy-loaded and wouldn't support sourceforge (and for obvious security reasons we need it to be apart from the others) - someone hosting the machine - someone who administers it. Roland Mas told me he is willing to do it. Being DPL certainly helps to contact/convince sponsors. Otherwise it's already doable. In fact most of my projects can be done without being DPL. But being elected DPL helps since it shows that the projects are supported by a great number of developers. And this legitimacy helps you find people to work on them. That's exactly the meaning of "leading" ... I tell you where I'd like us to go, if you agree you follow me and you help me. :-) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://strasbourg.linuxfr.org/~raphael/ Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com
