This is true, but it is also unclear how one would go about volunteering for the jobs in question. Indeed, it's not clear who chooses who does these jobs. I know how one becomes the maintainer of a package. There are several ways, all well documented and easily applied. How does one become an ftpmaster or release manager? How were the current ones chosen? Do they simply choose their successors? Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
