Hello, I'm using debian not for a long time (compared to others) now, but I caught the flame and I became what you could call debian believer and on my way to become a Debian Developer. But not beeing one already should not stop me from trying to help.
The thing is: The debian structure is not very transparent. Although I read debian-devel and some other mailling lists and eagerly read reports on debianplanet.org, the way debian really works is quite hidden. I read something about a Debian Project Leader and I from random posts on debian-devel I also found out that currently Branden is in this position, but I don't know much about him. I only new his name from the X Strike Force. He is running for DPL again, with three other competetors, but neither do I know them nor do I know how they have been chosen. I also heard something about a mysterious group called the "FTP-Masters" and the "list-master" and so on. Of course I could dive into mailinglists and docs deep in the debian.org menu structure, but that is not really a good option. You see the problem? That's why I'd like to see a Debian Who is Who somewhere, where the main people their positions are presented, maybe with a picture and personal backgroud (with permission of the person of course). This would make debian appear less like the wobbling masses of anonymous developers on debian-devel and more like what and how it really looks like. In my opinion, the perfect person to do this would be a Debian Member of old that might have stepped out of the daily work already and therefor got some distance from daily issues and gained a good overview. I don't think it would be very time intensive, and I'd be willing to do the formatting work, but if should be done by someone with authority, and could be put somewhere near "About Debian" on debian.org What do you think? Joachim PS: I thought this is the best list, since d-devel is about technical stuff (in theory).
