--- Begin Message ---Package: how-can-i-help Version: 6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, Thank you for the wonderful package. I do see that esp. for newbies it's a bit of a daunting package. For e.g. the only hints provided are :- $$ how-can-i-help --help Usage: how-can-i-help [options] -h, --help show help -v, --version show version -a, --all show opportunities for contribution to all packages -o, --old show old opportunities for contribution -q, --quiet do not display header and footer Using -a is a bit of a waste as it just gives a pointer to -old apart from giving the wiki link. how-can-i-help -a ====== How can you help? (doc: http://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help ) ====== ----- Show old opportunities as well as new ones: how-can-i-help --old ----- What would perhaps be more useful is to have something like :- $how-can-help --gift This way a newbie contributor can start in a jiffy. Also it should have some difference in the bandwidth used as well. This could be used a bit positively perhaps, to nudge new contributors to get into Debian. Just my 2 paise. I did two invocations but neither worked :- $how-can-i-help --gift $how-can-i-help | grep gift $ In fact the first one showed me the following :- $ how-can-i-help --gift /usr/bin/how-can-i-help:71:in `<main>': invalid option: --gift (OptionParser::InvalidOption) Looking forward to it becoming a possible option to be parsed :) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-updates'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages how-can-i-help depends on: ii ruby 1:1.9.3.4 ii ruby-debian 0.3.8+b2 ii ruby-json 1.8.0-1+b1 how-can-i-help recommends no packages. how-can-i-help suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
