Bug#689080: Acknowledgement (ITP: ktouchpadenabler -- kded daemon to enable/disable touchpad)

[Daniel Skinner <daniel@dasa.cc>]

Hi Lisandro,

Reading through the Teams wiki on debian, this is what I gathered

* Making a commitment to answer questions and/or be available at least once a week

* Teams manage internal infrastructure such as wikis, faqs, etc, and a public facing irc support channel. Being a part of a team would likely have the expectation to assist with such things.

* Teams have leaders and that leader would likely ask you to do something at some point. Going back to the first point, being a part of that team means a prompt reply, beit a yes or a no.

Let me know if I missed anything there, and I'd have no problem with any of that if I maintained ktouchpadenabler under the kde extras team. Working along side others could only expedite the learning process on my end :)

Thanks,

Daniel

OK, a *very* minor thing: in debian/changelog we (pkg kde team) use to write:

  * Some stuff (Closes: #689080).

Instead of:

  * Some stuff. (Closes: #689080)

No problem, will do.

 

There is only one thing missing, and I'm the one to blame. As Sune (svuorela)
suggested you to package this software which is KDE-related but optional for
KDE itself: would you like to maintain it under the pkg-kde-extras team's
umbrella?

I dont really know what this means.

 

Furthermore:

- Do you know what teams are for inside Debian?

Not even vaguely, but I wanted to build the plugins for pkg sndobj and figured I would get with the maintainer, or as a last resort, pkg-multimedia-maintainers team. Beyond that, not sure.

 

- Do you know what are the consequencies of team-maintaince?

No clue, maybe living up to the expectations of others?

 

- Do you know what is the pkg-krap maintainance team?

I could only guess and all my guesses sound funny :p
