Bug#572372: O -> ITA: wdm -- WINGs Display Manager - an xdm replacement with a WindowMaker look
Control: retitle -1 ITA: wdm -- WINGs Display Manager - an xdm replacement with a WindowMaker look
Control: owner -1 !
Hi,
I intent to adopt the wdm package.
I want to keep wdm in Debian because I think it's a good compromise
between xdm (which IMHO has everything except a possibility to
temporarily choose a different window manager) and gdm/kdm/lightdm
which I all consider far too bloaty.
I've revamped the wdm packaging (mostly debian/rules) in the past few
days and hope that I can handle it despite a not so active upstream.
I intent to forward all the patches we currently have in Debian to
upstream's mailing list and see what happens.

Agustin: You've made over a dozen of QA uploads for wdm in the past
few years and showed quite some continuity. So even if you don't want
to adopt the package as the sole maintainer, maybe you would like to
join me as co-maintainer of Debian's wdm package?
Regards, Axel
