Hi, over the past half year I've seen quite some interest in contributing to wicd's packaging, especially with contributions from non-DDs like Salvo 'LtWorf' Tomaselli (did an NMU), toogley and just recently Giáp Trần. But since they're no DDs, they had no commit access to the collab-maint project on Alioth: Salvo's NMU has been imported by me, toogley published his changes on Github and I synced them from there, and Giáp used "git format-patch" and sent the changes to me by e-mail. So to allow non-DDs to easier participate (and less relying on me ;-) in maintaining Debian's wicd package, I've created a pkg-wicd project on Alioth and move wicd's packaging git repository there: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-wicd/ https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-wicd/wicd.git (the web interface still doesn't work, but I was able to push to git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-wicd/wicd.git) To still benefit from occasional contributions from various DDs as seen in the past and possible with a collab-maint project, I configured the pkg-wicd Alioth project to grant any DD commit access. That way non-DDs can easier get commit access while still having all advantages of a collab-maint project. I'm happy to add anyone to the pkg-wicd group on Alioth who wants to help maintaining the wicd package. Either tell me by e-mail (include your Alioth user name) or use the web form at https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-wicd/. I'd be especially happy if those who worked on the wicd package in the past would join the team, or at least the mailing list at https://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=101007 Another thing I'd be happy about would be if at least one more DD would join the team, so that I can give him or her administrative access to the project to reduce the bus-factor. Being listed in Uploaders is _no_ requirement for that position. Gianfranco, Ritesh, Mattia, Emanuele, anyone? :-) Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
