Hi,
the wikimedia ITP bug report(s) seem to be a mess of misunderstanding which I try
to clear out:
1) stevenj@ab-initio.mit.edu: first ITP (10/25/2003) --> #217571
2) micah@ldl.fc.hp.com: sounded like wants to help (10/08/2004)
merged bug numbers
3) hashar@twenkill.net: buildes something, asked mentors (10/18/2004)
4) ROBERTOJIMENOCA@terra.es: asked for the package URL (02/21/2005)
5) jcollins@asgardsrealm.net: offered sponsoring (03/21/2005)
6) lolando@debian.org: suggested group maintaining on Alioth (04/25/2005)
7) evan@debian.org: Refused group maintining - I wonder how Evan became involved?
Promissed to get something out in a week but nothing happened
(04/25/2005)
8) Duck@duckcorp.org: updated own packaging, first occurence of something to try:
http://debian.duckcorp.org/ (05/06/2005)
9) lolando@debian.org: asked Evan about progress (05/08/2005)
10) ido@vif.com: reasonable suggestion to work on 7) (06/04/2005)
11) evan@debian.org: dropped the ITP (06/06/2005)
Comment: Hi Evan, group maintainance is not stealing a package but helping
out. It was greatly consensus on DebConf 5 to uses this for
complex packages. Could you at least provide your code for the
work you did?
12) toots@rastageeks.org: Offered teamwork (06/12/2005)
13) toots@rastageeks.org: Made another "trivial" package (07/07/2005)
http://www.cti.ecp.fr/~beauxir5/debian binary/
Summary regarding social work together: Debian people do not really like to
talk to each other - one of the results we got at DebConf5 and one more example.
What to do next: Roland offered to move the project to Alioth. Roland, would
you be willing to hava a look at 8) and 13) and move the stuff to alioth. We
should definitely do some group maintainance here and moving the package to
unstable should be a high priority goal. If nobody else starts the alioth
project in two days I will go for it and hope that we finaly manage to work
together here.
I kept all involved addresses in CC and hope that you might like to ooperate.
Kind regards and thanks for everybody who was involved and provided some code
Andreas.
