This is part of the problem: you (as well as some others) are in a situation in which you fail to understand how others in the project feel. You know a lot about the project, so it's all obvious to you. There are people among us who have not been part of Debian since 1.1, but who would like to know more about what's happening behind the curtains. However, those people are often told to RTFM or go spend time in the code, or just not taken seriously. No, I do not have (nor do I want to present) a single example for you, Joey. I am sure that you will dissect just about anything I write. All the better if there is an easy way to find out everything about the project. It just does not help much if every aspect is documented in a different place, or using a different paradigm. What you fail to see is that there is something daunting about a project of this size and complexity to those who are trying to understand it top-down, rather than having been part of building it bottom-up. Also note that I am not only speaking for myself here. I can say with confidence that the above paragraphs echo the thoughts of many fellow contributors. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
