Hi.
Since Dale wrote that I (me) have this job as the liaison of
his New Maint team to the www team, I will work here.

Thanks. I have received your mail.

Dale Scheetz and us, the New Maint team have not defined what is needed
on the new "New Maintainers Corner".

I suppose that we need a directory rather than a page (a file) to build
the "status board" system which indicate the process information.
But I have not understand the image of that system yet, so it may be wrong.
BTW, Dale wrote "Currently new-maintainer@debian.org is pointing at
me, as it should be. We should advertise this address as the contact
point for applicants in a prominent location on the NMC page."
Do we need to change the following information written in
devel/maintainer_contacts.wml ?
<LI>Developer Related Jobs:
<UL>
<job New Maintainers>
<genericemail new-maintainer@debian.org>
<member "Martin Schulze" joey@debian.org>
<member "James Troup" james@nocrew.org>
I think Dale Scheetz should be added here as "member" at least.
I don't know whether Martin and James prefer to show their name here,
or not. Any comment ? (I send this mail to joey and james to ask them
about this.)
Regards.
