That's one of the key points here: by working with a list of small tasks, the time commitment needed is much smaller, so this approach should enable more DDs to help. > My experience is that making the package is the easy bit, the tricky > bit is getting someone to take notice, provide feedback and eventually > upload the package. In my experience, properly reviewing a package can take a significant amount of time. Hours, if the packager is inexperienced. And that's only the review part. Mentoring the packager to a point where the package is in an acceptable state takes even more time. I do believe, however, that mentors prefer to (continue to) work with people they know, so beginning with small tasks could be a good opportunity to connect with people. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
