Hello, short version: this is a call for teams to send me team-specific P&P and T&S questions. I'll collect them and add them in one file per team to the NM template repository[1].
Long version: in the NM process we have a repository[1] of questions that AMs can send to applicants. Some questions are categorised as P&P (Philosophy and Procedures), and ask about the general mindset of Debian and its everyday procedures, and some are categorised T&S (short for Tasks and Skills) and contain question on important technical or practical aspects of Debian. I figured it could be interesting to collect sets of team-specific questions, especially regarding procedures, tasks and skills, from the various teams[2] in Debian. Of course AMs could use the list to pick some bonus questions for applicants that have an interest in a topic for which we have a specific team. But more importantly, experience has shown that those questions are an interesting read for people who would like to learn more about Debian, or who would like to put what they know to the test. I would love to have something similar on a per-team basis, especially considering that team-specific procedures, tasks and skills are less known than the debian-wide ones. For example, before attempting to draft, say, a patch to dak or to the website, I'd be strongly motivated to have a read through such a list of questions to test my understanding of how the team works, to kind of reassure myself that I am not going to do something obviously stupid. So, this is a call for teams to send me team-specific P&P and T&S questions. I'll collect them and add them in one file per team to the NM template repository[1].
