I'm not that long in Debian than you both, but on some corners within the Debian universe I felt sometimes the processes are really old fashioned and some kind of ... nighties style. And I also fear we will find some more procedures that will not work well for the current DPL simply because Sam is a blind person and the workflows are really not made for such kind of disabled persons. So it's obvious to me that we will need to rethink some workflows so things like reimbursement will not be horrible thing to work on for both participating parties. As long I'm able to traveling within Germany or Europe and the travel costs aren't that much I have avoided to ask for an reimbursement simply because I found the process to complicated for me. A lot of email traffic is needed and because of this a lot of time I'd need to invest. But I know there is also the 'other' side that have to prove my request. So a wild guess, why isn't it possible to create a webui which is guiding me through a reimbursement request and also make it possible to collect all the requests to the persons which have to agree or disagree on the calls? And even a more wild guess, isn't creating such an UI or system something Debian can order somewhere if no person will jump into such an work? We have a lot of Devs which working in companies who are earning money by build any kind of WebUI for customers, or maybe we need to look for some synergy effects by combines things, I mean the SPI is also handling reimbursements. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
