I wish that AMs could spend even *more* time per applicant than is currently spent following the standard templates. Marc was my AM and did a T&S evaluation based on solving real problems in Debian (prepare a QA upload, handle a library transition for the release team, prepare an NMU, triage bug reports for a package with a lot of them, etc.). It took more time for both of us than the usual NM process as I understand it but was *way* more rewarding and felt like it really tested my ability to act as a Debian Developer. It also meant that after I became a developer, I felt on much firmer ground doing those things that I'd been checked on during the NM process. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
