Personally? That is quite useful. Although communication by email and otherwise works quite okay, it always helps if you know someone personally. > As I am currently in the new maintainer queue searching for some work I > would take it over.

Since I'm already involved in two other packages, I think it's best to let maintainance go to you, since you're interested and apparently have more time (now). And I'm also no DD get, just in process to become one. I do have some issues with current YTalk as it is right now, such as that talk requests show up only IP adresses on our hosts, and we also see #65285 happening on our hosts. I'll let them stay on my TODO list to provide later bugreports and maybe even patches. Maybe co-maintainance is also an option (me as co-maintainer, or - only if you prefer that - the other way around)? I have good experience with using subversion for package maintainance, that collaborates very easy [everyone can commit changes, `lead' maintainer rolls out new debian-releases and makes sure things that don't get done, get done]. It's up to you, as far as I'm concerned, you can take ytalk. And let me know in case you're interested in the co-maintainance bit. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar +31-30-253 4499 Jeroen@A-Eskwadraat.nl http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
