That's exactly how I work when sponsoring packages. I look after 7 of them and all 7 have a reason for being there. There is only 9 packages that are asking for sponsors.

A gui toolkit I don't use and haven't got install and a language I don't understand. However, the variety of interests and skills is a good thing. What Sune said is pretty good advice, you may also be able to ask people who look after similiar packages. I sponsored purple-plugin-pack because I maintaint pidgin-musictracker. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
